Hello,
I have just started using the FontFactory to deal with fonts, and I came
across some unexpected behavior. I am trying to register fonts with an alias,
and then get those fonts later using the same alias. The relevant lines of
code look something like this (I am using iTextSharp):
FontFactory.Register("C:\\windows\\fonts\\verdana.ttf", "Normal");
FontFactory.Register("C:\\windows\\fonts\\verdanab.ttf", "Bold");
...
Font f = FontFactory.GetFont("Normal", BaseFont.WINANSI, 8);
The problem I encounter is that the font retrieved is not Verdana. I looked
into the code a little bit and found that when GetFont tries to look up a font
based on name in the trueTypeFonts map, it first converts the name to
lowercase. But when you Register a font with an alias, it does not convert
that alias to lowercase when putting the font into the trueTypeFonts map.
My workaround is to convert my alias to lowercase before registering, but this
seems like a bug in iTextSharp.
