setFont function stop pdf creation

[GoogleCodeExporter]

I'm using a simple function to generate a PDF with alivepdf in a web-app, 
but when I use setFont function in the code, the function doesn't generate 
any pdf.

For example:
import org.alivepdf.saving.*;  
import org.alivepdf.layout.*;       
import org.alivepdf.pdf.*;
import org.alivepdf.fonts.*;  
import org.alivepdf.images.*;
private var ArchivoPDF:PDF;
...

public function pdfCreation():void{
    var filePDF=new PDF(Orientation.LANDSCAPE,Unit.POINT,Size.LETTER);
    filePDF.addPage();
    filePDF.setFont(FontFamily.ARIAL ,Style.BOLD,18);
    filePDF.addText("Any Text Here",330,30);
    ArchivoPDF.save(Method.REMOTE,"./controler/create.php", 
Download.INLINE,"mypdf.pdf");
}

This code doesn't work, but when I comment the line 
"filePDF.setFont(FontFamily.ARIAL ,Style.BOLD,18);" with an //, the code 
works fine.

What could be happening?
Thank for help

Hi,

it's the first time I use this lib but I encountered the same problem.
I think the core code has changed and therefore it does not work this way 
anymore.
I am using AlivePDF 0.1.5 RC.zip.
Anyway, this works for me:

////
var myCoreFont:IFont = new  CoreFont ( FontFamily.HELVETICA_BOLD  );
myPDF.setFont( myCoreFont, 20 );
///

The new EmbeddedFont feature also works very well, but requires some more work 
than
using the supplied fonts. Happy to post my solution in case you need it!

Hope that helps,
K

Hi guys,

I'm trying to make the EmbeddedFont to work, but no result so far. Would you 
please post some examples - including the ttf and afm files you are using?

Another thing - have you tried using UnicodePDF + EmbeddedFont?

Thanks!
