But how does it come that you have a name in the first place? It is normally a fixed decision to use a specific font when creating a file. Or are you creating a file from parameters that are transmitted over a network, e.g. in an XML file, that has these names?

Not exactly. In my case, I dont know which font should be used. I am getting a string which respresents the font name. For example I could make a big switch/case block:

        switch (fontName) {
        case "HELVETICA":
            PDFont font = PDType1Font.HELVETICA;
            break;
...
}

with 14 cases, one for each available font, but I think there is a nicer way to do this :-) In 1.8 I could simply pass the font name to PDType1Font constructor, but in 2.0 I dont see this option.

Just use the static variables, e.g. PDType1Font.HELVETICA. Is this what you had in mind?

No, I like to use one of the 14 fonts defined in PDType1Font class. In version 1.8 it was possible to pass a font name to the PDType1Font constructor (PDType1Font(String baseFont)) to create a PDType1Font object with given name. In version 2.0 this constructor is private. In 1.8 I see also a function getStandardFont(String name), which returns the PDType1Font object with the passed string.

I am looking for something like this in version 2.0.

Hello,

I am trying set a base font from its name as string. In PDType1Font class, there is a constructor for this purpose: PDType1Font(String baseFont), but only private accessible. I also tried with FontMappers class without success. Can anyone help me ?

Could you clarify what you mean with "set a base font from its name as string"?

Do you want to use an external font?
