The following code example acquires a font that is used to draw text on a page.
Example 4.4
PDSysFont sysFont;
PDEFont pdeFont;
//Set the size of the PDSysFont and set its attributes
memset(&pdeFontAttrs, 0, sizeof(pdeFontAttrs));
pdeFontAttrs.name = ASAtomFromString("CourierStd");
pdeFontAttrs.type = ASAtomFromString("Type1");
//Get system font
sysFont = PDFindSysFont(&pdeFontAttrs, sizeof(PDEFontAttrs), 0);
//Create a font that is used to draw text on a page
pdeFont = PDEFontCreateFromSysFont(sysFont, kPDEFontDoNotEmbed);
