Let's say I have an "SomeFont.otf" and I want to use the one of the fonts
it holds to write some text into a pdf file and embed the font. The
following code works fine if I have Type 1 font:
PDFontDescriptorDictionary fd = new PDFontDescriptorDictionary();
PDType1Font font = new PDType1Font();
PDDocument doc = //get PDDocument
PDPage page = //get page
font.setFontDescriptor(fd);
File otfFile = new File("SomeFont.otf");
InputStream in = new FileInputStream(otfFile);
PDStream fontStream = new PDStream(doc, in, false);
fontStream.addCompression();
fd.setFontFile3(fontStream);
page.getResources().addFont(font);
But what should I do if it's not Type 1? There are appropriate classes for
other font types and a factory which picks right font class reading type
from COSDictionary object if we are reading the font from pdf. How to do
the same thing reading from *.otf file.
I'm afraid the font support is limited to Type1 and Truetype fonts, see [1], [2]
Thanks.
