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 times-italic helvetica-bold courier-boldoblique ocraextended <--- mine helvetica-boldoblique helvetica creditcard <--- mine courier-bold courier-oblique zapfdingbats scorecard <--- mine times-roman symbol purdue <--- mine helvetica-oblique times-bold courier times-bolditalic ocr a extended 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!

[what goes here?] = "creditcard"
Careful with the encoding, you're using cp1250 and if you really require cp1252 the results will be different. Other option is to get BaseFont directly and not use FontFactory. Failing all this please post the font, the code and your expectations.
