Thanks for your answer Mark. It works, but there are still problems: If the font that is used in the header/footer is not used elsewhere in the document, the font never gets written to the rtf.
If only header or footer is set, not both, a NullPointerException is thrown in RtfWriter, 4th line in writeSectionDefaults(ByteArrayOutputStream out). some code to demonstate the problems: private static void headerTest() throws Exception { Document doc = new Document(); RtfWriter.getInstance(doc, new FileOutputStream("headertest.rtf")); doc.open(); RtfFont arial = new RtfFont("Arial", 32, 0, Color.GREEN); RtfFont verdana = new RtfFont("Verdana", 22, Font.BOLD, Color.RED); Paragraph fp = new Paragraph("+abcdefg+ ", arial); fp.add(new RtfPageNumber("", arial)); RtfHeaderFooter hf = new RtfHeaderFooter(fp); RtfHeaderFooters header = new RtfHeaderFooters(new Paragraph("", arial), false); header.set(RtfHeaderFooters.ALL_PAGES, hf); doc.setHeader(header); doc.add(new Paragraph(verdana.getFamilyname(), verdana)); // doc.add(new Paragraph(arial.getFamilyname(), arial)); doc.close(); } Thanks & Regards, Thomas > -----Original Message----- > From: Mark Hall [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Sent: Saturday, September 06, 2003 2:16 PM > To: Thomas Bickel; [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Subject: Re: [iText-questions] RTF headers and footers font > > > On Wednesday 03 September 2003 14:12, Thomas Bickel wrote: > > Is there a way to change the font family and color for headers and > > footers in a rtf? > > I tried everything i could think of but I always get "Times > New Roman" > > and black color.
