I am attempting to add text to an already existing document using the
PdfContentByte object.  The reason for a choice of PdfContentByte was to
allow for easy positioning, rotation, and alignment of the text.  I am,
however, having some problems with font styles (bold, italic, etc.)
applying within this object.

The way that I have chosen to set the font is to generate a Font object,
set the font family and style, and use the BaseFont object accessible
from therein to setup the PdfContentByte.  The problem I am having is
that when I get the BaseFont object, the font styles are lost, and the
BaseFont object does not support any method of setting bold/italic/etc
attributes.

Is there a way to accomplish this, other than a workaround using svg to
render the text properly?

Thanks,
Andrew Todd
