However, reading the chapter, I thought, may have given me some idea of where to look in the code for where the fonts were chosen to render the glyphs. That, in turn, may have given me some idea of how to modify the code to get the correct fonts. Looking *deep* (about 13 levels) at the rups of i1040.pdf shows an entry: /BaseFont: /IFFIKJ+TimesNewRomanPSMT so maybe I have to figure where that is on my system and then become superuser and create the directory: C:/Windows/fonts with symlinks to wherever the IFFIKJ+TimesNewRomanPSMT font is located. Note, I'm just guessing the problem is not finding the right font. BTW, thanks for the hint about C:/Windows/fonts in your other reply: http://www.mail-archive.com/itext-questions%40lists.sourceforge.net/msg64532.html > Also, fonts are discussed in chapter 11, not 12. Yep. The 11 must have been a typo.
