title: Load fonts out of JAR-file and create AWT font (works) and register iText font (does not work)
body: <p>I tried to write an applet that is able to create a PDF with an embedded font.
  Everything works as long as it is not in an JAR file.</p>
  
  <p>The following code part shows that I first create the AWT Font (which works fine with and without beeing stored in a JAR-file).
  Then I want to register an iText (5.0.3) font. But here comes the error: <code>access denied (java.io.FilePermission http:\host\jarfile\fonts\EXAMPLE.ttf read) java.security.AccessControlException)</code>.</p>
  
  <pre><code>private String font = "fonts/EXAMPLE.ttf";
  
  /* iText font */
  private Font pdfFont;
  
  /* AWT font */
  private java.awt.Font javaFont;
  
  private DefaultFontMapper mapper = new DefaultFontMapper();
  
  javaFont = java.awt.Font.createFont(java.awt.Font.TRUETYPE_FONT, getClass().getResourceAsStream(font));
  
  FontFactory.register(getClass().getClassLoader().getResource(font).getPath(), javaFont.getFontName());
  pdfFont = FontFactory.getFont(javaFont.getFontName(), BaseFont.IDENTITY_H, BaseFont.EMBEDDED, 40);
  
  /* Map the fonts */
  BaseFontParameters params = new BaseFontParameters(font);
  params.encoding = BaseFont.IDENTITY_H;
  params.embedded = true;
  mapper.putName(javaFont.getFontName(), params);
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>So I thought signing my applet would be a good idea but it had no effect. The same error message appears.
  Am I doing something wrong or is this a security setting that cannot be deactivated? (without changing JRE policys)</p>
  
  <p>Thank you!
