I rebuilt 0.94 from source and ensured the .afm files ended up in
"font/" inside the jar file. This apparently fixed the problem.
In BaseFont.getResourceStream(boolean) there is a call to
Class.getResourceAsStream("fonts/"+key); Shouldn't this really be
Class.getResourceAsStream("com/lowagie/text/pdf/fonts/"+key);?
