Answer 1

This is for PdfSharp 1.5 beta3b. Here is a complete and fixed example based on links from other answers, and other questions - but for Arial.

Add the fonts you want to your project - in my example below I put Arial in MyProject\fonts\arial\arial.ttf etc. Set each font file as an embedded resource (properties -> build action).

Apply the font resolver using the static call like this:

MyFontResolver.Apply(); // Ensures it's only applied once

Here's the font resolver class:

class MyFontResolver : IFontResolver
{
    public FontResolverInfo ResolveTypeface(string familyName, bool isBold, bool isItalic)
    {
        // Ignore case of font names.
        var name = familyName.ToLower().TrimEnd('#');

        // Deal with the fonts we know.
        switch (name)
        {
            case "arial":
                if (isBold)
                {
                    if (isItalic)
                        return new FontResolverInfo("Arial#bi");
                    return new FontResolverInfo("Arial#b");
                }
                if (isItalic)
                    return new FontResolverInfo("Arial#i");
                return new FontResolverInfo("Arial#");
        }

        // We pass all other font requests to the default handler.
        // When running on a web server without sufficient permission, you can return a default font at this stage.
        return PlatformFontResolver.ResolveTypeface(familyName, isBold, isItalic);
    }

    public byte[] GetFont(string faceName)
    {
        switch (faceName)
        {
            case "Arial#":
                return LoadFontData("MyProject.fonts.arial.arial.ttf");;

            case "Arial#b":
                return LoadFontData("MyProject.fonts.arial.arialbd.ttf");;

            case "Arial#i":
                return LoadFontData("MyProject.fonts.arial.ariali.ttf");

            case "Arial#bi":
                return LoadFontData("MyProject.fonts.arial.arialbi.ttf");
        }

        return null;
    }

    /// 

    /// Returns the specified font from an embedded resource.
    /// 
    private byte[] LoadFontData(string name)
    {
        var assembly = Assembly.GetExecutingAssembly();

        // Test code to find the names of embedded fonts - put a watch on "ourResources"
        //var ourResources = assembly.GetManifestResourceNames();

        using (Stream stream = assembly.GetManifestResourceStream(name))
        {
            if (stream == null)
                throw new ArgumentException("No resource with name " + name);

            int count = (int)stream.Length;
            byte[] data = new byte[count];
            stream.Read(data, 0, count);
            return data;
        }
    }

    internal static MyFontResolver OurGlobalFontResolver = null;

    /// 

    /// Ensure the font resolver is only applied once (or an exception is thrown)
    /// 
    internal static void Apply()
    {
        if (OurGlobalFontResolver == null || GlobalFontSettings.FontResolver == null)
        {
            if (OurGlobalFontResolver == null)
                OurGlobalFontResolver = new MyFontResolver();

            GlobalFontSettings.FontResolver = OurGlobalFontResolver;
        }
    }
}
