Subject: [iText-questions] Fonts in the PDF
> Hi,

> Using iText API I am creating a PDF document that is exactly same as that
of a

and

also

like

> File->Document Properties->Fonts in the original document is shown below:

> Original Font Type Encoding Actual Font Type
> Arial,BoldItalic TrueType Windows Embedded Subset TrueType
> Arial TrueType Windows Embedded Subset TrueType
> Arial, Bold TrueType Windows Embedded Subset TrueType
> Arial, Italic TrueType Windows Embedded Subset TrueType

> File->Document Properties->Fonts in the document that I generate is shown
below:

> Original Font Type Encoding Actual Font Type
> Arial-BoldMT TrueType Windows
> ArialMT TrueType Windows
> Arial-BoldMT TrueType Windows Arial-BoldMT TrueType
> ArialMT TrueType Windows ArialMT TrueType

> Obviously I am doing something wrong in the initialization of the fonts.
> How do I ensure that the font is as close as possible to the original one?
