Different things, PDF and RTF. RTF gets the font name and Word looks for
that font, by name, in your computer. In PDF, the font must be mapped by
the program. If the font is not found Helvetica is used. You must call
defaultFontMapper.insertDirectory().

> As always I'm writing code to generate either rtf either pdf:
>
> starting from a java.awt.Font I produce
> a com.lowagie.text.Font fot PDF generation and
> a com.lowagie.text.rtf.style.RtfFont for RTF generation.
>
> In first case, PDF, the code is:
>
> ...
> java.awt.Font myAwtFont = ...;
> DefaultFontMapper defaultFontMapper = new DefaultFontMapper();
> BaseFont pdfFont = defaultFontMapper.awtToPdf(myAwtFont);
>
> Font f = new Font(pdfFont);
> // I set manually the size, in fact awtToPdf method seems to
> not consider the size
> f.setSize(myAwtFont.getSize());
>
> simpleParagraph = new Paragraph("Ah yeah", f);
> ...
>
> In second case the code is:
> ...
> java.awt.Font myAwtFont = ...;
> int fontStyle = 0;
> switch (myAwtFont.getStyle()) {
> case 0:
> fontStyle = Font.NORMAL;
> break;
> case 1:
> fontStyle = Font.BOLD;
> break;
> case 2:
> fontStyle = Font.ITALIC;
> break;
> case 3:
> fontStyle = Font.BOLDITALIC;
> break;
> }

> RtfFont rtfFont = new RtfFont(myAwtFont.getFontName(),
> myAwtFont.getSize(), fontStyle);
>
> simpleParagraph = new Paragraph("Ah yeah", rtfFont);
> ...

> I tried with Courier New and Times New Roman

> With RTF ALL IS OK, while with PDF all the fonts are treated
