Paulo, Thank you for your quick response. I must admit ignorance here, but I don't understand what itext-paulo-108 is. Is this a cvs branch tag or something? Being new to your project, would you please provide me a short explanation of how to obtain itext-paulo-108?
I was wondering. Is this functionality that already existed within iText? If so, where should I have looked to know this (I hate asking a question when I should have read something somewhere). If this is new, did you just code it??? Again, thanks for your help. Thanks, Perry Paulo Soares <psoares@consiste To: Perry Tew/CV/Novartis@PH, .pt> [EMAIL PROTECTED] cc: 02/12/2003 12:41 Subject: RE: [iText-questions] is it possible to register PM fonts when the . ttf file exists in a .ear or .war file (using URL)? You can register a font from a jar, just include the full resource path. iText will look first for a file path and if not found will try to load it as a resource. You'll need itext-paulo-108 for it.
