I am having a problem where I cannot seem to match Fonts. I have 2 documents, Document A and Document B.

Document A is the QuickPDF Reference.

I am trying to build a new Doc in Document B using the Fonts in Document A.

The First Font is seen as "BitstreamVeraSans", and I save this to a Temp File, and Add it to Doc B from the File.

The next time I try to choose the Font, this Font is seen as "Bitstream Vera Sans" (with the spaces) so I do NOT match the name, and add it AGAIN.

The second time, the same Font is added with the name "BitstreamVeraSans" and therefore now matches.

However, when I get to wanting to use "BitstreamVeraSansBold", I Save it out using SaveFontToFile() and add it to the new Doc B using AddTrueTypeFontFromFile() but it ALWAYS gets read back from Doc B as "BitstreamVeraSans". The Temp file sizes are different, and the comments inside the Font File reference "BitstreamVeraSans" and "BitstreamVeraSansBold", but the FontName property is always "BitstreamVeraSans" in Document B.

How is the FontName generated when using AddTrueTypeFontFromFile()? Is there something obvious I am doing wrong?

Thanks,

Ando.
