Dear 1T3XT,
Thanks a lot for your help. I ran the code you provided, and it
produced the exact behaviour as I described. I attached the
PDF file produced on my system for your reference.
The environment of my system is:
Windows 2000, Java JDK 1.5, Adobe reader version 8.1.0, iText version 2.1.0
When I checked the PDF file document properties in Adobe reader, it reads:
Helvetica-BoldOblique
Type: Type 1
Encoding: Ansi
Actual Font: Arial-BoldItalicMT
Actual Font Type: TrueType
thanks again for your help,
Kevin
