Use custom font

[aleksandr-m]

Any way to use custom font? There is PdfBoxFontResolver, but currently don't see how to add custom font to it.

Currently, the easiest way is to use a font-face rule in your css. Note: Only truetype fonts are supported and this will not currently work in the Java2D renderer - see #17

@font-face {
    font-family: "Noto Sans";
    src: url("NotoSans-Regular.ttf"); /* Use an absolute or relative url. */
}

/* Later, use font as named: */
body {
    font-family: 'Noto Sans', sans-serif;
}

If you want to add it in code instead, let me know and I'll give you a code sample.

The thing is I need to load font from the jar. I can get PdfBoxFontResolver from PdfBoxRenderer but currently addFont method loads font with FileInputStream. Can you add another addFont method which loads resources from the classpath (e.g. with getResourceAsStream)?

I think the referenced commit does what you want. You can also use a jar url or a relative url if the document url is from a resource. Let me know if the provided method doesn't work. Thanks, Daniel.

Initially I was thinking too about adding method with input stream but then noticed that there is check for .ttf and opted for TrueTypeFont.

Anyway, now it should work. Thanks.
I'm planing to upgrade struts2-pdfstream when you release next version with this improvement.
