Thanks, i will use that. The fonts work fine with basic text, but fail however with the HTMLWorker util for non-english languages. The method of getFont from FactoryProperties which is used by the HTMLWorker to create chunks will always use a default font. I overwrote this method to use arial.ttf instead - but the text is still garbage when parsing for example russian html with the HTMLWorker. The same text works fine without html formating just using chunks and the arial font.
