Hi. I've just subscribed, and have no idea of the prevailing
nettiquette here, but am pressed for time. I have an issue with iText
version 2.0.8 running on the Sun JVM 1.5.0_14 and 1.6.0-b105 on Debian
etch. Please forgive me if I break any of the local rules, and let me
know if I missed a crucial bit of info that should always be provided
with a question. I did try the list archives, but did not find anything
relevant.
I'm trying to change the font in a cell in a PdfPTable, and I'm seeing
odd behavior. I'm trying to switch from bold to normal Helvetica, but
the text all renders as bold. If I switch the order in which the text
appears, normal first, then bold, it works as expected. I've reproduced
the issue in the 50 lines of code below, with both a row that changes
from normal to bold and one that doesn't change from bold to normal.
I'm also attaching the resulting pdf, but am unsure if it will come
through unscathed.
If anyone could tell me what I'm doing wrong, I'd really appreciate it.
Having been a professional software developer for over 20 years now, my
instincts tell me that this is a bug in the library, but I don't have
enough time working with the library to know if I've done something
daft.
Thank you,
-Greg
