You should forget about trying to create an equivalent Font object from PDF
font information - it won't work for the vast majority of the world's PDFs that
use embedded fonts. Even if the font name "matches" one that you have
installed, MSFT has changed fonts between versions and something won't match.
As Kevin said, you REALLY need to read ISO 32000-1, the PDF standard to
understand 1-4...

Subject: Re: [iText-questions] PdfContentStreamProcessor not handling TJ
operator correctly (maybe)
I just updated my local copy and then ported the new function to iTextSharp.
From the tests I have done so far, there are a few cases where my computation
provides a slightly different position than the new function. I was looking
into it when I discovered a somewhat different but very related issue.
TextRenderInfo provides me with the text font information, but I cannot seem to
create a System.Drawing.Font object from it that I'd need for doing any text
drawing in .NET. There is no built-in converter as far as I have seen. One
alternate is to grab the FullFontName property and try to build it manually,
but I'm facing the following issues with that:
1. FullFontName is a 2D array, not a string. I can overcome this issue by
always reading FullFontName[0][3] for now.
2. It contains "CJFLDK+" string before the font name. I need to know if
this is some constant or what. Couldn't find any reference in the code or on
the Internet. Should I simply trim that?
3. It also concatenates font style with the font name. For example, my
machine has only Calibri font installed, but the FullFontName shows it like
"Calibri-Bold". This is also simple to fix if it will always return font style
with the font name, separated by dash. This will also solve the issue of not
having any Style property.
4. I also need to know the font size in points. I couldn't a property for
that.
If you could provide an insight into these, I'll do further testing of the
TextRenderInfo with different fonts and sizes.
