ă ş ţ chars aren't rendered by iTextSharp

I use iTextSharp in asp.net mvc to return pdf like this:

public class Pdf : IPdf
    {
        public FileStreamResult Make(string s)
        {
            using (var ms = new MemoryStream())
            {
                using (var document = new Document())
                {
                    PdfWriter.GetInstance(document, ms);
                    document.Open();
                    using (var str = new StringReader(s))
                    {
                        var htmlWorker = new HTMLWorker(document);

                        htmlWorker.Parse(str);
                    }
                    document.Close();
                }

                HttpContext.Current.Response.ContentType = "application/pdf";
                HttpContext.Current.Response.AddHeader("content-disposition", "attachment;filename=MyPdfName.pdf");
                HttpContext.Current.Response.Buffer = true;
                HttpContext.Current.Response.Clear();
                HttpContext.Current.Response.OutputStream.Write(ms.GetBuffer(), 0, ms.GetBuffer().Length);
                HttpContext.Current.Response.OutputStream.Flush();
                HttpContext.Current.Response.End();

                return new FileStreamResult(HttpContext.Current.Response.OutputStream, "application/pdf");
            }
        }
    }

the problem is that characters like: ă ţ ş are not rendered

Please try the folowing:

var unicodeFont = iTextSharp.text.pdf.BaseFont.CreateFont(iTextSharp.text.FontFactory.TIMES_ROMAN, iTextSharp.text.pdf.BaseFont.CP1250, iTextSharp.text.pdf.BaseFont.EMBEDDED);
acroFields.SetFieldProperty("txtContractorBirthPlace", "textfont", unicodeFont, null);

And it should do it for you. You have to add the field property to every field you wish to have diacritics.

Baftă!

yetanothercoder is correct. That would do the trick... but there's another very similar question which I answered in a bit more detail:
