exporting font to pdf
Nov 15th, 2007, 12:31pm  
Hi,
I'm exporting text from my sketch to a pdf. In the sketch window the font i'm  using (courier-sans) is displayed correctly with both createFont() and loadFont().

With loadFont(), the text displays as white blocks in the pdf. With creatFont() as default helvetica.

Does anyone know how to export the right font with the pdf?

Thanks, Joris

On http://processing.org/reference/libraries/pdf/index.html the very last section ('Additional notes for the PDF renderer') states that "To force text to be treated as shape data, use textMode(SHAPE), immediately after size()."
