FontFactory (iText 5.5.13.1 API)

java.lang.Object
- com.itextpdf.text.FontFactory

```
public final class FontFactory
extends Object
```
If you are using True Type fonts, you can declare the paths of the different ttf- and ttc-files to this static class first and then create fonts in your code using one of the static getFont-method without having to enter a path as parameter.
