Re-capping topic #13 (quoted below), my PDF does not work when deployed to a Solaris machine. I receive the message...
"Helvetica-Bold not found as resource. (The *.afm files must exist as resources in the package com.lowagie.text.pdf.fonts)"
During troubleshooting I've discovered that all the fonts referenced in the program produce the same error, not just Helvetica-Bold which leads me to think the problem is NOT with Helvetica-Bold, it's something more generic.
Looking at the iText source code in the FontFactory, BaseFont, and Type1Font classes, iText appears to retrieve the font file through the BaseFont.getResourceStream method which uses a Context Class Loader to get the afm font file. The directory location of the afm font file appears to be hardcoded to the "/fonts" directory.
This seems to work OK on my local machine but bombs upon deployment to my UNIX box. I have verified the existence of the afm font files in the standard Solaris location,
"usr/openwin/lib/X11/fonts/Type1/afm".
Do I need to change the BaseFont.RESOURCE_PATH value ("/fonts") which reflects the location of the fonts and re-compile, or should I deploy the iText jar in addition to my own programs? Or have I mis-diagnosed the problem?

Subject: [iText-questions] Font question
I get this message when deploying to one location, but in other locations it
works fine:
Helvetica-Bold not found as resource. (The *.afm files must exist as
resources in the package com.lowagie.text.pdf.fonts)
Does anyone know how to fix?
John
