    • createFont

      public static FontProgram createFont() throws IOException
      Creates a new standard Helvetica font program file.
      Returns:
      a FontProgram object with Helvetica font description
      Throws:
      IOException - exception is thrown in case an I/O error occurs when reading the file

    • createFont

      public static FontProgram createFont (String fontProgram) throws IOException
      Creates a new font program. This font program can be one of the 14 built in fonts, a Type1 font referred to by an AFM or PFM file, a TrueType font or a CJK font from the Adobe Asian Font Pack. Fonts in TrueType Collections are addressed by index such as "msgothic.ttc,1". This would get the second font (indexes start at 0), in this case "MS PGothic".

      The fonts are cached and if they already exist they are extracted from the cache, not parsed again.

      Parameters:
      fontProgram - the name of the font or its location on file
      Returns:
      returns a new FontProgram. This font program may come from the cache
      Throws:
      IOException - exception is thrown in case an I/O error occurs when reading the file
