Good point, particularly the answer mentioning encodings. However, if any of these languages require Shaping, then all best are off. iText only supports Arabic shaping. – Mark Storer
Did you try adding a font programattically ? – Chris

Adding a marathi font in itext pdf is :

BaseFont kruti_Dev = BaseFont.createFont("c:/WINDOWS/Font/Kruti_Dev_010.ttf"
                       ,BaseFont.CP1252,BaseFont.EMBEDDED);
Font font = new Font(kruti_Dev, 12, Font.NORMAL);
