  Dear

  I am using this library C1.C1Pdf for generating PDF files.
  
  I am able to generate PDF file successfully. But I want to apply MS Gothic font on generated pdf file.

  How should I apply MS Gothic font while creating PDF?

  Hello,

  You can embed a font in the application and use it for the Font while drawing a string, after you have set the FontType property of C1PdfDocument to Embedded.
  
  ```
  
  C1PdfDocument1.FontType = C1.C1Pdf.FontTypeEnum.Embedded
  
  ’ Add content to the page.
  
  Dim rect As RectangleF = C1PdfDocument1.PageRectangle
  
  rect.Inflate(-72, -72)
  
  Dim pfCol As New System.Drawing.Text.PrivateFontCollection
  
  pfCol.AddFontFile(“…/…/MS Gothic.ttf”)
  
  Dim font As Font = New Font(pfCol.Families(0), 12)
  
  C1PdfDocument1.DrawString(TextBox1.Text, font, Brushes.Black, rect)

  This has been shown in the attached sample.

  Hello,

  .FON files cannot be used while creating PDF , in C1Pdf.
  
  As per the description in the below mentioned documentation link for FontTypeEnum, ttf files can only be embedded for fonts, in pdf created using C1Pdf:
