Reply from itext support: It looks to me like you're taking a very elaborate path towards rendering bold and italic text. Unless there is a very specific use case that absolutely requires Graphics2D, iText has no need for the kind of low-level API calls you are making. For instance, java.awt.Font is not needed at all in this example. What you're trying to do in this sample can be done in about 25 lines of code. If you really need the Graphics2D, please tell us more about your use case so we can understand your question better. On any Chunk, you can set a skew factor for italics, and set the TextRenderMode to TEXT_RENDER_MODE_FILL_STROKE, which gives a bold font. You can see these calls in the sample below: http://sourceforge.net/p/itext/code/HEAD/tree/book/src/part1/chapter03/FoobarFilmFestival.java#l146 http://sourceforge.net/p/itext/code/HEAD/tree/book/src/part1/chapter03/FoobarFilmFestival.java#l154 Since you can add a Phrase directly to a Document, you presumably won't need the Direct Content for adding text. If you follow this sample, the only thing you need to do to embed your font is to make sure you create it as follows: int fontSize = 12; BaseFont base = BaseFont.createFont("/path/to/arial.ttf", BaseFont.WINANSI, BaseFont.EMBEDDED); Font arial = new Font(base, fontSize); On a side note: is there a reason why you're not using the newest version of iText, which is 5.5.3 ? Version 5.4.0 is almost 2 years old, and the newer versions contain fixes and greater functionality.

Hi Alexis, Yes, i agree that it is outdated. But our application has been using it from many years and probably, shortly, we will upgrade to the latest version. Anyhow, i have written a sample code by using PdfGraphics2D and FontMapper using iText 5.5.3. Attributed String is not rendered correctly when PdfGraphics2D is used. Graphics2D renders the same Attributed String correctly. But we have to embed the font, so only Graphics2D object is of no help. Is this a bug in PdfGraphics2D? Please see the below code.

We have seen an example of adding it using Graphics2D.drawString(AttrStr.iterator(), x,y). But this does not support the languages which are of RTL type and also does not embed the font into the PDF. Is there a way to use Attributed String in iText which also embeds fonts and supports RTL?
