The first one will give you 6 characters and has nothing to do with Unicode.
The second one will give you a single and correct character.

string uCode = String.Format("\\u{0:x4}", cms.CharacterIndex);
and
string uCode = new String((char) cms.CharacterIndex, 1);
give entirely different results from:
template.ShowTextAligned(PdfContentByte.ALIGN_CENTER, uCode, width/2, 0,
0);

In this case it's the same, the font really covers iso-8859-1.

Okay, I've got it: use the string from character index not the Unicode.
D'oh!
Thanks again Paulo

I don't see where's the problem. Some character will produce a glyph. Did
you expect another glyph? And if so why?

Thank you for looking at this Paulo.
I still can't see how to set the font's symbolic flag - I can't find a
method for "setting" a Font font in PdfContentByte. Is it sufficient to
just
create a Font from the BaseFont? Should I be using some other means of
adding the character to the template?
Cheers
AlanK

Looks good to me although the font should be symbolic. This code:
Document doc = new Document(PageSize.A4);
PdfWriter writer = PdfWriter.GetInstance(doc, new
FileStream("c:\\test456.pdf",FileMode.Create));
doc.Open();
BaseFont bf = BaseFont.CreateFont("c:\\esri_12.ttf",
BaseFont.IDENTITY_H, true);
Font ff = new Font(bf, 24);
PdfPTable t = new PdfPTable(16);
t.WidthPercentage = 100;
t.DefaultCell.HorizontalAlignment = Element.ALIGN_CENTER;
for (int k = 0; k < 256; ++k) {
String s = new String((char)k, 1);
t.AddCell(new Phrase(s, ff));
}
doc.Add(t);
doc.Close();
produces the attached pdf. There's one other char at \u2219 that is not
represented here.

Thanks Paulo,
I've been looking closer at the PDF spec and now realise where the six
characters are coming from.
My code is creating templates from individual characters and
then painting
the templates multiple times.
The font code is below:
PdfTemplate template = cb.CreateTemplate(100, 100);
BaseFont bf = BaseFont.CreateFont(pathBuilder.ToString(),
BaseFont.IDENTITY_H , BaseFont.EMBEDDED);
string uCode = String.Format(@"\u{0:x4}", cms.CharacterIndex);
float size = (float)fnt.Size;
float width = bf.GetWidthPoint(uCode, size);
template.BeginText();
template.SetFontAndSize(bf,size);
template.SetRGBColorFill(rgbColour.Red, rgbColour.Green,
rgbColour.Blue);
template.SetTextMatrix(0,0);
template.ShowTextAligned(PdfContentByte.ALIGN_CENTER, uCode,
50, 50,0);
template.EndText();
Cheers
AlanK

You'd be amazed at the number of TT fonts, even from
reputable sources, that
have broken cmaps. You'll have to post the font and the way
you are using it
so that another hack can be put in iText.
