Change default font and fontsize in pdf using itextsharp

Question

How do I set the default font and font size for a PDF document using iIextSharp so that it is used throughout the PDF.

Answer 1

Met the same issue with Russian and Romanian alphabets(itextsharp 5.5.6.0, .net 3.5). I've just added:

string arialuniTff = Path.Combine(Environment.GetFolderPath(Environment.SpecialFolder.Fonts), "ARIALUNI.TTF");
FontFactory.Register(arialuniTff);    
StyleSheet ST = new StyleSheet();
ST.LoadTagStyle(HtmlTags.BODY, HtmlTags.FACE, "Arial Unicode MS");
ST.LoadTagStyle(HtmlTags.BODY, HtmlTags.ENCODING, BaseFont.IDENTITY_H)

and

parser.SetStyleSheet(ST);

but before you start parsing your TextReader add:

parser.Parse(reader);

Otherwise it won't work.
