How get the widthPoint in itext7

Question

In the previous version of itext (5.5.x) I used the BaseFont class as follows:

BaseFont bf = BaseFont.createFont ("Arial.ttf", BaseFont.WINANSI, true);

Then used the method getWidthPoint

bf.getWidthPoint (TEXT_EXAMPLE, fontSize);

But in the version of itext 7 I am not finding the BaseFont class and also some utility that allows me to get the withPoint of a certain text.

Any help is welcome.

To create a similar font in iText7, use:

PdfFont font = PdfFontFactory.createFont("Arial.ttf", PdfEncodings.WINANSI, true);

To get the width of a certain String, use:

float width = font.getWidth(TEXT_EXAMPLE, fontSize);
