PDFSharp with Chinese characters

Question

I have problem with displaying Chinese characters in PDFSharp in C#. During process of creating the PDF string it\'s ok, but after creating pdf file it doesn\'t display it.

Neither of the solutions worked for a newer version of the lib, so I came up with a workaround on drawing chars to a bitmap, then adding the bitmap to a PDF:

        Font font = GetFont(fieldInfo, fontSize * 0.97f); // Chosen empirically
        using (var imageStream = new MemoryStream())
        {
            // Draw string as an image
            using (var bitmap = new Bitmap((int) fieldRect.Width, (int) (fieldRect.Height * 1.5f)))
            using (Graphics graphics = Graphics.FromImage(bitmap))
            {
                graphics.TextRenderingHint = System.Drawing.Text.TextRenderingHint.AntiAlias;
                graphics.DrawString(fieldValue, font, Brushes.Black, PointF.Empty);
                bitmap.Save(imageStream, ImageFormat.Png);
            }

            // Draw image on PDF
            using (XImage xImage = XImage.FromStream(imageStream))
            {
                double labelPositionX = fieldRect.X1 + 2;
                double labelPositionY = fieldRect.Y2 - 2;
                xGraphics.DrawImage(xImage, labelPositionX, page.Height - labelPositionY);
            }
        }
