I am very new to iText, and may be asking a question already answered in
this forum, but please bear with me...

The insertDirectory() method of DefaultFontMapper takes a path to the
directory where the fonts are installed. The location of the font directory
depends on the OS, and even in the world of Windows changes from one flavor
of Windows to another (e.g. /Winnt/fonts on NT, but /Windows/fonts on 98 or
XP...)

Is there any way to specify the font directory path in a portable,
OS-independent manner? For example, getAllFonts() method of
java.awt.GraphicsEnvironment gets these fonts without having the programmer
supply the font location. Or, for this matter, is there any way to "feed"
the fonts returned by getAllFonts() into DefaultFontMapper, thus
circumventing the physical location issue altogether?
