The main thing to understand it that Font.ITALIC and others only work with
BaseFont.HELVETICA and other built in fonts because it changes the actual
font used from "Helvetica" to "Helvetica-Oblique". It's a different font
altoghether. If an external font is used it does nothing because there's no
information that, for example, the font "arial.ttf" should be changed to
"ariali.ttf". There's some possibilitie to overcome this with FontFactory
but that's on Bruno's side.
