I have a PDF file with a font reference to STSong-Light which is not available on the iOS.

Therefor I can not display the correct characters defined with that font.

I took the STSong font file mentioned on Apples KB: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1538

… and put it into my project and added it to the plist.

The text is now no longer being rendered.

I'm using CGContextDrawPDFPage to render my PDF files.

My question is:

How can I correctly get my font file working OR can I somehow access on the iOS available fonts to replace STSong fonts in my PDF? (there must be other asian fonts, otherwise these interfaces wouldn't work)

Thank you all in advance for your help!

Edit: I got some Feedback from Apple that I could also use a font-substitute which means the second part of the question should be the right direction.
