This function is used to load a font into memory for later use with PDF_setfont()



This function is the replacement for the depracated PDF_find_font()



And also here is the 'core font' list, for PDF files, these do not need to be embeded:

- Courier

- Courier-Bold

- Courier-Oblique

- Courier-BoldOblique

- Helvetica

- Helvetica-Bold

- Helvetica-Oblique

- Helvetica-BoldOblique

- Times-Roman

- Times-Bold

- Times-Italic

- Times-BoldItalic

- Symbol

- ZapfDingbats



And with encodings i have found its best to use iso8859-1 for english with a $ for currency.
