Hello-

I am using PdfContentByte to position text absolutely on a page.  I have a
Font object that specifies a certain base font, plus a style (Font.BOLD).
The Font object refers to a TrueType font for which no separate bold version
actually exists, so the BaseFont part of Font points to the .ttf file, and
the Font itself holds the knowledge of "bold" and "italic".

However, I can't see a way to render this bold text onto PdfContentByte.
The reason is, PdfContentByte only accepts a BaseFont as a font
specification (PdfContentByte#setFontAndSize), so, the "bold" and "italic"
information is lost (the text renders in a "normal" typestyle).

How can I render styled TrueType fonts for which no separate .ttf file
exists on a PdfContentByte?

Thank you,

Danny Burkes
