hi,
i need some help with a combo of JFreeChart and iTextPDF. Whenever I export my
charts as PDFs, I end up with files that use Helvetica all across the place.
my initial approach was
def createPDF( file: File, chart: JFreeChart, width: Int, height: Int ) {
val pageSize = new IRectangle( 0, 0, width, height )
val doc = new IDocument( pageSize, 0, 0, 0, 0 )
val stream = new FileOutputStream( file )
val writer = PdfWriter.getInstance( doc, stream )
doc.open()
val cb = writer.getDirectContent
val tp = cb.createTemplate( width, height )
val g2 = tp.createGraphics( width, height )
val r2 = new Rectangle2D.Double( 0, 0, width, height )
chart.draw( g2, r2 )
g2.dispose
cb.addTemplate( tp, 0, 0 )
doc.close
}
i'm trying to set the AWT font like this
val fontName = "Gulim" // tried different ones, problem is not specific
to this one
val axis = new CategoryAxis()
axis.setTickLabelFont( new Font( fontName, Font.PLAIN, 10 ))
plot.setDomainAxis( axis )
looking around on StackOverflow, i tried different things, like
// my own ttfs and otfs are in here:
def userFontDir : File = new File( new File( System.getProperty(
"user.home" ), "Library" ), "Fonts" )
val fntMap = new DefaultFontMapper()
fntMap.insertDirectory( userFontDir.getAbsolutePath )
and
FontFactory.registerDirectories()
and
val fontFile = "Gulim.ttf"
fntMap.putName( fontName, new DefaultFontMapper.BaseFontParameters( new
File( userFontDir, fontFile ).getAbsolutePath ))
and
writer.setAtLeastPdfVersion( PdfWriter.VERSION_1_7 )
...
No luck, output PDF still shows Helvetica (I tried in Preview, Acrobat Pro and
Inkscape, all the same, Acrobat Doc info says the only font in the PDF is
Helvetica).
The only thing that changes is the kerning which apparently comes from the font
I want, so it looks even more awful.
Thanks for hints!
best, -sciss-
