Try using FontSelector. You can add multiple fonts and it will process your text and use the different fonts where appropriate. 

 FontSelector selector = new FontSelector();
    selector.addFont(FontFactory.getFont(FontFactory.TIMES_ROMAN, 12));
    selector.addFont(FontFactory.getFont("MSung-Light",
        "UniCNS-UCS2-H", BaseFont.NOT_EMBEDDED));
    Phrase ph = selector.process(TEXT);
    document.add(new Paragraph(ph));

Make your pdf encoding to UTF-8 use font that supports unicode, Here is similar Question 

  BaseFont unicode =
                BaseFont.createFont("c:/windows/fonts/arialuni.ttf", BaseFont.IDENTITY_H, BaseFont.EMBEDDED);
