Section 9.6.2.2: Standard Type 1 Fonts (Standard 14 Fonts)
Section 9.6.2.2 of ISO 32000 (part 1 as well as part 2) provides a list of the Standard Type 1 Fonts (aka Standard 14 Fonts). In this chapter, we're going to look at some examples that use the default fonts provided in pdfHTML, and we're going to unlock access to all the other types of fonts that are supported by the core library. You can configure the font provider to support more fonts. NET) that by default only provides support for the 14 Standard Type 1 fonts and 12 fonts that are built-in into pdfHTML. The pdfHTML add-on uses a DefaultFontProvider ( Java/. ttc), as well as the Web Open Font Format (. otf), OpenType fonts with TrueType outlines (.
TTF), OpenType fonts with Type1 outlines (. The 'iText core' library supports Type1 fonts (. There are two things you need to know before reading this chapter: We know that Helvetica is the default font used by iText when no font is specified (chapter 2), and we know that pdfHTML ships with some built-in fonts if you need to embed a font (chapter 4), but we didn't get a clear overview of which fonts are supported as of yet. Up until now, we haven't spent much attention to the fonts that were used when we converted HTML to PDF.
