Hello

I must generate dynamically a pdf file using the Java library FOP, but I miss, to have additional fonts, a .pfb file. I would like to know how to get this type of file for standard fonts Arial, Arial Black.
What is the pfb format? Is it free? Which are the limits of uses? If I have a ttf file, can I convert it to pfb?

Thank you very much for your responses.

PFB is the Post Script Type 1 font data file, which includes the outlines for the font. A ttf file is not a pfb, but some programs (FontLab) would probably be able to convert them.

I don't think Microsoft have a Type 1 version of Arial. You might have to substitute with ArialMT from Monotype.
