Hey,
In fact, I tried a few combinations of bold/non bold fonts, both embedded
and not. I didn't read the book tho - this report generation was supposed to
be just a small part of the project we did, so it seemed a little out of
scope. Pardon my ignorance. Anyway, I tried embedding a second font, it
still didn't work, but then I did one little modification:
...
BaseFont fb = BaseFont.createFont("c:/windows/fonts/arialbd.ttf",
BaseFont.CP1257, BaseFont.EMBEDDED);
Font boldFont = new Font(bf, 8, Font.BOLD);
I changed the last line to:
Font boldFont = new Font(bf, 8, Font.NORMAL);
and voila, acrobat5 is happy.
Thanks a lot,
Andrius
