Tried it but FontFactor.getFont produces a Font but the target,
timesbd, is a BaseFont; so, I'm getting the errors:
--{--cut here--
ant -f examples.xml execute
Buildfile: examples.xml
compile:

So, to get this to work, I'd have to change all the BaseFont's
to Fonts. That seems too risky for someone like me who's such
a novice at this. I would think it would be easier to
supply a:
static const String FONTDIR=???;
and use that with the string concatenation operator, +, to
reproduce, as close as possible, the code as it is now.
Or maybe there's something else I'm missing that
you could point out for me.
TIA.
