hmm, agreed it would probably be better to move away from iText or PDFSharp.
I wound up using a hacked version of pdfsharp described here: http://forum.pdfsharp.net/viewtopic.php?f=4&t=1206&p=7289#p7289 that works, provided one tells it where to find the fonts on the local system, which is something of a pain. I don't think embedding the fonts works either because mono uses X11 to do the drawing, and they may not match.
Looks like this is more than I can handle now though so will have to leave the issue for now. Thanks for the response though!
