Will FontFactory.contains() or FontFactory.isRegistered() tell me if I can get an IDENTITY_H font for that font?
Or should I call getFont() with the code page first and if it returns a TrueTypeFont then try to get an IDENTITY_H font?

IDENTITY_H ...) didn't work. Is there a fast way to determine if for a font name I can get an IDENTITY_H font? What's hurting me is that it is a lot of processing time for it to throw the exception on the getFont() call when it can't map it. Also, can't it map Times to Times New Roman to get a TTF font in this case?

If you had bothered to see the javadocs for getFont(String fontname, String encoding, boolean embedded, float size, int style) you'd noticed that the last parameter is the style and that the number 2 is, surprise, Font.ITALIC. You can't throw numbers and expect nothing to happen. Best Regards, Paulo Soares ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by: YOU BE THE JUDGE.
