How to Change Font Type And Font Color Dynamically Tutorial

Quick Reference
In a block to change the font dynamically you must make the text flow equal to true.
For fontname use syntax: <fontname=Helvetica encoding=winansi>

Example:

<fontname=Helvetica-Bold encoding=winansi>tel:<space><fontname=Helvetica encoding=winansi>

We change the system font before the word tel: then restore the original font afterwards. It is important to add the encoding part, otherwise PDFLib will ignore the whole tag. Fonsize can be changed too.
