Shouldn't be BaseFont an instance?  My guess is that
$bf = $bf->createFont(...) should correct this
problem. 

BTW: For backward compatibility the bridge allows
sloppy coding:

 new Java("com.lowagie.text.pdf.BaseFont");

is valid even though the above code should immediately
throw an exception. If you set the log level to 3
(which is default), you should see a warning message
in the JavaBridge.log file.

It's more likely that the problem is the first
argument, not the second. float is autoconverted into
a Float, so this shouldn't be the problem.

But you're right, the "illegal argument exception"
should state which argument is illegal, and why! At
the moment we simply pass the exception we've obtained
from Java. In the next version, 4.0.2 we should change
this: wrap the obtained exception and pass more
information to the client.
