Hey Mark,
You can't directly call for a particular TTF font. Instead you should
specify a font family name that gets matched by the font. For WRasterImage,
true type fonts are only available if you have linked Wt against libpango.
In that case, font matching is done by 'fontconfig'. So you need to have
installed the font in some directory support by fontconfig, and
subsequently you should be able to match by the code above.
Regards,
koen
