Unicode symbols in iTextSharp

Question

I\'m trying to use a Unicode symbol in my PDF file with iTextSharp.

Dim base As BaseFont = BaseFont.CreateFont(\"C:\\\\WINDOWS\\\\Fonts\\\\WINGDING.TTF\", Ba         


        

Answer 1

The code appears to be a Visual Basic port of a C# project, since the string that holds the path to the font file has escaped backslashes in it -meaning "C:\WINDOWS\FONTS\WINGDING.TTF".

This is an error in VB, which is probably trying to find a file located at "C:\\WINDOWS\\FONTS\\WINGDING.TTF".

Chris' code, which apparently works, also points in that direction; since the escaped backslashes are one of its few differences.
