Font problem

It's entirely possible that your FontFactory doesn't know about your system fonts yet.  Whenever the factory is asked for a font it has never heard of, it returns a default font (you guessed it, Helvetica).
 
Have a look at the Register Fonts example on the itext website:
http://itextdocs.lowagie.com/examples/com/lowagie/examples/fonts/getting/RegisterFont.java
 
In addition to the FontFactory.register() function for individual fonts, there's also a FontFactory.registerDirectory() which will grab all the fonts in the given path (but not subdirectories, just the path you pass in).

Subject: [iText-questions] Font problem

Hello Team,
 
I cant able to render different fontstyles in the PDF file(like: MonotypeCorsiva) in this case it is assigning the default style(HELVETICA)to the text.
I am using this code please look at for the reference and let me know where i need to change my code.
 
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
 
//renderedStringInfo is the string which i am rendering
 
font = iTextSharp.text.FontFactory.GetFont(renderedStringInfo.Font.Name, renderedStringInfo.Font.Size , Convert.ToInt32(renderedStringInfo.Font.Style), iTextSharp.text.Color.BLACK);

font.Color = new iTextSharp.text.Color(brushColor);

baseFont = font.GetCalculatedBaseFont(false);      

pdfContentByte.SetFontAndSize(baseFont, renderedStringInfo.Font.Size);

___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
 
 
Thanks in advance,
 
T.Venkat.
