// X position of the text to draw
int textX = 10;
// Y position of the text to draw
int textY = 50;

// Draw all font types
foreach (StandardFontType fontType in fontTypes)
{
// Add standard font
uint font = document.AddFontStandard(fontType, FontEncodingType.WinAnsi);

// Set Active Font
drawing.SetActiveFont(font, fontSize, false, false);
