Hi,
Is there a way to use the standard builtin 14 fonts like Helvetica, Courier, etc.?
I tried something like:

Code:

XFont font = new XFont("Helvetica", 11, XFontStyle.Regular, null);

But looking at pdf properties it gets translated to 'Arial' in windows,
Thanks,
Frank

Thomas hoevel is away on holidays and isnt answering any questions until the new year - As Arial and Helvetica are basically the same font (Helvetiva is just a slightly "slicker" version if i am to trust the guy who told me this), then what is the problem?

If I want to use a specific font (which isnt one of the standard ones) then I load it into the PrivateFonts object of the DocumentRenderer object i use to render my pages.

Hope this helps.

Mike

Not yet and not in the foreseeable future.
