What version of iText are you using?
What OS are you using (I'm gonna guess some version of windows from your file
path).
Examine the return value of getFont() in a debugger. What font is being
returned? I suspect it's not what you're asking for.

Subject: [iText-questions] How to display Arabic
I would swear this has worked in the past – but I can’t get it to
display Arabic or Hebrew. I’ve gone back to the sample in the book – and it
doesn’t work.
Any ideas?
Thanks – dave
public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception
{
FontFactory.registerDirectories();
Rectangle pagesize = new Rectangle(8.5f
* 72, 11 * 72);
Document document = new Document
(pagesize, 72, 72, 72, 72);
PdfWriter writer =
PdfWriter.getInstance(document, new FileOutputStream("c:\\test\\report.pdf"));
document.open();
// Font font =
FontFactory.getFont("Simplified Arabic", BaseFont.IDENTITY_H, true, 22,
Font.BOLD);
Font font =
FontFactory.getFont("arialuni", BaseFont.IDENTITY_H, true, 22, Font.BOLD);
ColumnText column = new
ColumnText(writer.getDirectContent());
column.setSimpleColumn(36, 770, 569,
36);
column.setRunDirection(PdfWriter.RUN_DIRECTION_RTL);
column.addElement(new
Paragraph("Arabic", font));
column.addElement(new Paragraph("اليوم
يوم خميث ", font));
column.addElement(new
Paragraph("Hebrew", font));
column.addElement(new Paragraph("אחת
שתיים ", font));
column.go();
document.close();
