Bold , Italic in PDF!

Hi.

I realized this:

When using TRUE TYPE FONT (TTF) in <reportFont> tag,

Bold and Italic don t work in PDF format.

Why???

Hi,

 

Yes. The "isBold" and "isItalic" attributes have no effect on the PDF fonts.

In PDF format, you have to use special True Type Font with those characteristics.

For example, if you want to have a text printed in "Comic Bold" then you should

specify the "comicdb.ttf" file when mapping the PDF font.

 

The sample report that will come with the 0.2.3 version will do just that.

You can find more details about those issues on the iText site.

 

Good luck!

Teodor
