How to specify a 10.5 font size when using FontFactory mvc

Question

This works: Font font_medium = FontFactory.GetFont(FontFactory.HELVETICA, 10);

and this does not build: Font font_medium = FontFactory.GetFont(FontFactory.HELVETICA, 10.5);

I get the build error:

*> Error 3 The best overloaded method

match for 'iTextSharp.text.FontFactory.GetFont(string, string)' has some invalid arguments C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator\Desktop\lms4\LMS\Lms.Web\Controllers\PaymentItemController.cs 24 28 Lms.Web*

Thanks in advance

Answer 1

.GetFont does not recognize fractional font sizes. I don't believe there is a work around, the only thing you could try to do is find a Helvetica Wide perhaps to give the illusion of a slightly larger font...
