The problem is generally caused by not understanding how fonts work. There's an interesting chapter about fonts in this book (chapter 11): http://itextpdf.com/book/ See also http://itextpdf.com/examples/index.php?page=toc&id=11 There are examples with Greek text here: http://itextpdf.com/examples/index.php?page=example&id=198 http://examples.itextpdf.com/results/part3/chapter11/encoding_example.pdf and here: http://itextpdf.com/examples/index.php?page=example&id=215 http://examples.itextpdf.com/results/part3/chapter11/peace.pdf You can find more examples here: http://1t3xt.info/tutorials/keywords/index.php?page=keyword&id=324 I know that these examples are written in Java, not in C#, but the principle and the functionality is the same. Greek glyphs DON'T work with the unembedded type 1 font Helvetica. You need a font such as arial.ttf, you need to embed the font, you need to use the correct encoding, and also: you need to make sure that the String object is correctly encoded. For instance: make sure there isn't a mismatch between the encoding of the database and of the default encoding of the application receiving the data. This is explained in chapter 2 of the book. In other words: even if we give you a working example, there's no guarantee that it will work for you if you copy it without understanding what it's about. For instance: did you check if the font "c:/windows/arialuni.ttf" is even present on your system? Also: using '/' is OK in Java, but does it work in C#? Maybe you should change the '/' into '\'. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Download Intel® Parallel Studio Eval Try the new software tools for yourself.
