The logic used to set the code to Arial Unicode MS is there below -
str is an arabic string that comes from a database.
BaseFont bfArialUni =
BaseFont.createFont("C:\\Windows\\Fonts" + "\\ARIALUNI.TTF",
BaseFont.IDENTITY_H,
BaseFont.EMBEDDED);
Font fontArialUni = new Font(bfArialUni,12f);
Phrase myPhrase = new Phrase(str,fontArialUni);
PdfPTable table = new PdfPTable(1);
PdfPCell cell = new PdfPCell(new Paragraph(myPhrase));
cell.setColspan(3);
cell.setPaddingRight(15f);
cell.setBorder(PdfPCell.NO_BORDER);
cell.setRunDirection(PdfWriter.RUN_DIRECTION_RTL);
table.addCell(cell);
document.add(table);
This code is not setting the arabic characters to arial unicode MS font.
