What code have you tried and what kind of error messages are you getting?

Anyway, I had the listing with the following code:

Code:
  pdf = createGraphics(400, 400, PDF, "multipage.pdf");
  pdf.beginDraw();
  
  String[] fonts = ((PGraphicsPDF) pdf).listFonts();
  for (int i = 0; i < fonts.length; i++)
  {
    println(fonts[i]);
  }

hi PhiLho!
many thanks for your quick help!


when i changed your Code to this:

import processing.pdf.*;

PGraphics pdf = createGraphics(400, 400, PDF, "multipage.pdf");
pdf.beginDraw();
 
 String[] fonts = ((PGraphicsPDF) pdf).listFonts();
 for (int i = 0; i < fonts.length; i++)
 {
   println(fonts[i]);
 }


it worked fine for me...

++

although i am not sure why some fonts appear with characters like:

?¬’Ë–?’© Pro M
?¬’Ë–?’© Pro R

or

?¬’˃SƒVƒbƒN Pro B
?¬’˃SƒVƒbƒN Pro EL

or

?????? Pro W6
?????? Std W8


this does not happen when using PFont.list();

I saw this too (on Windows), maybe the internal font name is Unicode (some Asian fonts perhaps).

i had a look at my fonts inside Illustrater and there are some that have asian-characters in the name...

processing-console(message area) can not display unicode, can it?
just wonder how you do a japanese "hello world" then...
