Please read what the book about iText says about this. Verdana is a
"FONT FAMILY". This font family consists of different fonts, that are in
different font files, such as verdana.ttf, verdanai.ttf, verdanab.ttf,
verdanaz.ttf, etc...
These are DIFFERENT fonts, so if you need Verdana Bold, you need
something like baseFontek = BaseFont.createFont(
"GS_confidentialA1_priority1\\defenseStatusReports\\iText_font\\verdanab.ttf",
BaseFont.CP1250, BaseFont.EMBEDDED);
You can't expect Font font = new Font(BaseFontek, 12, Font.BOLD); if you
don't follow the rules as described in the book (for this to work, you
need to REGISTER all the fonts in the family). This being said: having
more info about the problem, I notice that the fact if the page was
rotated or not was irrelevant, wasn't it?
