Creating a BaseFont for file cambria.ttc (which ships with Vista) generates a
DocumentException. The specific code is:
BaseFont bf = BaseFont.createFont( fontFilename, "winansi",
BaseFont.NOT_EMBEDDED);
where fontFilename is the full path and filename for cambria.ttc Note that
this code works without a problem for all .ttf and .otf files.
Based on the source code in BaseFont.java, the only relevant test that I can
see that this fails (and thereby leads to the DocumentException) is the test
for ".ttc,".
TIA,
