Font contructor won't load font anymore (with workaround)

[JanBuerger]

This isn't setting the font to courier anymore, it defaults to LiberationSans :
final Font font = new Font(Font.COURIER, fontsize, Font.NORMAL)
final PdfPCell c = new PdfPCell(new Phrase(myText, font));

This seems to fix it:
final Font font = fontFactoryImp.getFont("Courier", fontsize, 0);
final PdfPCell c = new PdfPCell(new Phrase(myText, font));

Can you please remove or update the broken Font constructor?

This is the Font class in OpenPDF: https://github.com/LibrePDF/OpenPDF/blob/master/openpdf/src/main/java/com/lowagie/text/Font.java#L73

Can you please describe how to fix the constructor in this class? Pull requests welcome.

The Font() constructor is fine. This works as expected:

Font font = new Font(Font.COURIER, Font.DEFAULTSIZE, Font.NORMAL);
document.add(new Phrase("Hello World", font));

The Problem may be in PdfPCell. Can you share some (minimal) code to demonstrate the problem?

Things to do here:

• Check the behavior of both Font creations and compare why Liberation is used in the first example.

@JanBuerger , is the problem solved in any new version of OpenPDF?

Other thoughts:

• Better documentation of Font and BaseFont.
