I'm using Itext on a Ubuntu machine to generate a couple of PDF's in a
production system.
I'm having problems with the fonts not being displayed correctly, the
spacing between letters is all messed upp. For Times new roman, i switched
to using the Nimbus 9 .afm file(for some reason .ttf does not give me an
improvment) from the texmf-texlive package in ubuntu, which works very well.
I'm doing something like this
String timesFont =
"/usr/share/texmf-texlive/fonts/afm/urw/times/utmr8a.afm";
DefaultFontMapper mapper = new DefaultFontMapper();
DefaultFontMapper.BaseFontParameters pp;
return mapper.pdfToAwt(
BaseFont.createFont(timesFont, BaseFont.CP1250,
BaseFont.EMBEDDED),
size);
However, It only works using the texmf .afm font's, all others are rendered
incorrectly.
I need to have fonts for Verdana,Georgia,Comic Sans and Courier, but i can't
find any .afm files that
works correctly.
Of course, i would suspect that there is some underlying problem that I'm
missing, but I'm out of ideas.
All help is appreciated.
