embedding ttf fonts

Hey guys,

I've read the chapter on using fonts repeatedly and I'm still really
confused.

I have three TTF fonts that are custom (they contain logos).  Obviously,
I need to embed these into the PDF.  I also need to be able to get their
"BaseFont" so I can position them absolutely.

I seem to be registering my fonts correctly:

logger.info("registering required fonts:");
                String[] fonts = new String[]{"CREDITCARD.ttf",
"OCRAEXT.ttf", "PURDUE.ttf", "SCORECARD.ttf"};
                for(String font:fonts){
                        logger.info("fonts/" + font);
                        FontFactory.register("fonts/"+font);
                }
                for (Iterator i =
FontFactory.getRegisteredFonts().iterator(); i.hasNext(); ) {
            System.out.println((String) i.next());
        }

Gives me this:

main 16:43:06,714 INFO Driver (<init>:18) - registering required fonts:
main 16:43:06,714 INFO Driver (<init>:21) - fonts/CREDITCARD.ttf
main 16:43:06,761 INFO Driver (<init>:21) - fonts/OCRAEXT.ttf
main 16:43:06,761 INFO Driver (<init>:21) - fonts/PURDUE.ttf
main 16:43:06,761 INFO Driver (<init>:21) - fonts/SCORECARD.ttf

now that it's registered I need to do something like this:

BaseFont myFont = BaseFont.createFont([what goes here?],
BaseFont.CP1250, true);
PdfTemplate logo = PdfTemplate.createTemplate(..some writer.., 115f,
72f);
logo.beginText();
logo.moveText(1, 20);
logo.setFontAndSize(pefcuFont, 14);
logo.setColorFill(PEFCU_LOGO_RED);
logo.showText("A");
logo.endText();

logo.beginText();
logo.moveText(1, 20);
logo.setFontAndSize(pefcuFont, 14);
logo.setColorFill(PEFCU_LOGO_GRAY);
logo.showText("B");
logo.endText();

help!
