Windows 8.  I have acrobat reader installed if that matters.

Thanks for the tip. I can do this:

        PDFont font = PDType0Font.load(document, new 
File("c:\\windows\\fonts\\arial.ttf");

and the doc is displayed fine in acrobat reader on the machine I used to 
create it but if I open it on my android device the text does not appear.  
I guess this is not a portable way to define a font?
