ok, i found a solution:
// this is the mapper to use when creating the Graphics2D
lazy val fontMapper = {
val res = new DefaultFontMapper()
val parameters = new DefaultFontMapper.BaseFontParameters( new File(
userFontDir, fontFile ).getAbsolutePath )
parameters.encoding = BaseFont.IDENTITY_H
res.putName( fontName, parameters )
res
}
// this is AWT font to set for JFreeChart
lazy val font = {
val bf = BaseFont.createFont( new File( userFontDir, fontFile
).getAbsolutePath, BaseFont.IDENTITY_H, BaseFont.EMBEDDED )
fontMapper.pdfToAwt( bf, 10 )
}
then
val g2 = tp.createGraphics( width, height, fontMapper )
i'm not sure why there seems to be no translation between BaseFont and
BaseFontParameters, so that i seem to be doing redundant things here by
referring twice to the font file...?
best, -sciss-
