  local fonts not appearing in pdf.

  Jan 23, 2012 10:24 AM|LINK

  Hi

  I have a web application, where in create a PDF document, using itextsharp and try to insert 'kannada' letters using 'TUNGA' font into it. But the application does not give any results.

  my code:

  Dim doc As Document = New Document
  
              Dim bfTimes As BaseFont = BaseFont.CreateFont("c:\windows\fonts\tunga.ttf", BaseFont.CP1252, False)
              Dim times As New Font(bfTimes, 12, Font.ITALIC, Color.RED)
              FontFactory.Register("c:\windows\fonts\tunga.ttf")
  
              PdfWriter.GetInstance(doc, New FileStream(Request.PhysicalApplicationPath + "\1.pdf", FileMode.Create))
              doc.Open()
              doc.Add(New Paragraph("ಕನ್ನಡ ನಮ್ಮ ನಾಡಿನ ", times))
              doc.Close()
              Response.Redirect("~/1.pdf")

  any help on this

  The font must be installed on the server.
