Great. I'm excited to roll this into my app.
However, none of the demos seem to work.

irb(main):013:0> pdf.select_font("Helvetica")
TypeError: Font Helvetica not found.  
 from /Users/jdf/local_ruby/ruby-1.8.2/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.8/pdf/font.rb:109:in `open' 
 from /Users/jdf/local_ruby/ruby-1.8.2/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.8/pdf/writer.rb:228:in `open_font' 
 from /Users/jdf/local_ruby/ruby-1.8.2/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.8/pdf/writer.rb:245:in `select_font' 
 from (irb):13 
 from :0

But, if I add a path I get:

irb(main):014:0> pdf.select_font("pdf/fonts/Helvetica")
=> "pdf/fonts/Helvetica"
irb(main):015:0> pdf.select_font("pdf/fonts/Times-Roman")
=> "pdf/fonts/Times-Roman"

Is this correct behaviour?
