Class FontFactory

java.lang.Object

com.lowagie.text.FontFactory

public final class FontFactory
extends Object

If you are using True Type fonts, you can declare the paths of the different ttf- and ttc-files to this static class first and then create fonts in your code using one of the static getFont-method without having to enter a path as parameter.
