	I am initializing a PdfFont as follows:

	        FontFamily fontArial = new FontFamily("Arial");

	 

	This works fine for english text. However, when I enter unicode text and attempt to measure or draw a string using this font, I get the following exception:

	 

	
[PdfException: Couldn't find information about the character. Unicode is not supported by this font.]
   ComponentPro.Pdf.Graphics.Fonts.TrueTypeFont.ComponentPro.Pdf.Graphics.ITrueTypeFont.GetCharWidth(Char charCode) +159
   ComponentPro.Pdf.Graphics.Fonts.TrueTypeFont.ComponentPro.Pdf.Graphics.ITrueTypeFont.GetLineWidth(String line) +73
   ComponentPro.Pdf.Graphics.PdfTrueTypeFont.GetLineWidth(String line, PdfStringFormat format) +136

   ComponentPro.Pdf.Graphics.PdfFont.MeasureString(String text, Single width, PdfStringFormat format, Int32& charactersFitted, Int32& linesFilled) +60


	 

	How can I successfully use Arial (a very standard font) with unicode text?
