Is seems not possible to select fonts other than the base PDF-fonts,
when generating RTF using iText's XMLProcessor.

For instance if I want to render "Arial", it works by using the programmatic 
approach, working with RtfFont like

new RtfFont("Arial", 14, Font.BOLD)

but if I do it declarative by processing XML, it doesn't work.


Someone had the same problem 2 years ago, too.
I'm referring to this thread:

http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.java.lib.itext.general/15588/

http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.java.lib.itext.general/15595/

http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.java.lib.itext.general/15596/

My question is, if anybody found a solution to this?


Here is an excerpt of my xml tagmap:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>

<!DOCTYPE tagmap [
 <!ENTITY StdFont "Arial">
 <!ENTITY StdFontSize "10">
 <!ENTITY TableWidth "100">
 <!ENTITY StdOffSet "5">
]>

<tagmap>
 <tag name="iText" alias="LOCATION" />
 
 <!-- defines a bold text phrase -->
 <tag name="phrase" alias="BOLD">
  <attribute name="size" value="&StdFontSize;" />
  <attribute name="font" value="&StdFont;" /> 
  <attribute name="style" value="bold" />
 </tag>
 
 <!-- defines a normal text phrase -->
 <tag name="phrase" alias="NORMAL">
  <attribute name="size" value="&StdFontSize;" />
  <attribute name="font" value="&StdFont;" />
  <attribute name="style" value="normal" />
 </tag>

<!-- ... -->
</tagmap>
 


And in the Template xml then there is something like:

<BOLD>Date:</BOLD>
<NORMAL>15.06.2007</NORMAL>


Bold and normal works, but it's standard "Times New Roman" font, not "Arial"

Maybe You can help me.

Thanks,
Andreas Furtner
