Yes, I know what's wrong:
First you need to understand that a BOLD font and a NORMAL font are two
different fonts.
Java takes the work out of it and chooses the correct font for you whether
you have chosen bold, normal, italic etc.
iText does not do this, if you want to have this work properly in iText, you
will have to do it manually and
Iterate through the text attributes and manually setup fonts etc.
I will look into the PdfGraphics2D class and see if there might be an
addition to make this work better.

Hi, i've tried your example, but i lost font-weight. I'm using a different
html editor and i use style attribute and not font tag. In the editor
everything is ok (size, color, ...), but when i convert to pdf i lost
font-weight. Do u know the reason?
thanks
