Answer 1

I used this code:

BaseFont fonty = BaseFont.createFont("assets/ARIALBD.TTF", BaseFont.IDENTITY_H,       BaseFont.NOT_EMBEDDED);
     fonty.setSubset(true);
     Phrase myName = new Phrase("Your Not Latin Words", new Font(fonty,12));
     ColumnText.showTextAligned(canvas,
             Element.ALIGN_LEFT, myName, 66, 400, 0);

i had to paste the ARIALBD.TTF to assets folder
