Subject: Re: [iText-questions] How to display Arabic
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
