Answer 1

According to you, the owner of the question in another post, iText is not support Khmer Unicode.

I made summarize on this again as well on my blog: http://ask.osify.com/qa/287

Only we have to modify the source code of iText but until now no one claim that they will work on it so iText is not the right choice for us with Khmer Unicode yet until the source modify.

Another alternative solution, we have to use Openoffice doc with JODConverter, for me, I'm still in experiment this one but with quick test, it's working fine.

We just have another issue with creating the openoffice doc that could put Khmer unicode rendering as stated shortly in http://ask.osify.com/qa/318

• I have added the source code sample for the rendering: http://ask.osify.com/qa/613
• The rendering customization with iText for Khmer Unicode added in github: https://github.com/Seuksa/iTextKhmer

Answer 2

Font font = new Font("khmer", Font.PLAIN ,33);
iText.setFont(font);

Answer 3

if its anything like a normal font your gonna want something like

Font myfont= new Font(BaseFont.createFont("Font location", "encoding, "embedded"));   

most fonts are located under c:\windows\fonts
