It's not possible to import a T3 font. You'll have to create it programmatically every time.

I see the image method and that will help to programatically build the font. However, I guess what I'm asking is this: Is there away to bring in a Type 3 font from an external file? I have seen a few variations of T3 font files which are essentially PS. Is there a way to bring one in is a fashion similar to bringing in a T1 or TT font? Would there be away to leverage the import PS XObject stuff to bring in a T3 font file? It may be more like saying can I import a PS file that happens to be a T3 font?

Thanks,

See the javadocs for the Type3Font class. You can also use bitmaps, inline or not, to describe the glyph.

I notice that 1.4 has a Type 3 font class.  Is the
BaseFont.createFont(...) method supported?  If not is there some way to
include a type 3 font from an external file?
I tried using the BaseFont.createFont(..) method and get a document
exception no matter what encoding I specify.  It may be that the type 3
font support is limited or that the type 3 font files I have are not
supported etc.  Any help with this would be greatly appreciated.  Are
there any examples
of using type 3 fonts out there?

My requirement is to convert Legacy AFP raster fonts to type 3 when
converting the AFP documents to PDF.  I can conform to pretty much any
Type 3
subset that is required when creating the type 3 fonts . . . as long as
I know what that is!

Thanks,
Jerry Sampson
