You can use below code snippet to set font folder in Aspose.PDF:

ArrayList<String> localFontPaths = new ArrayList<String>();
localFontPaths.add(dataDir + "customfonts\\");
FontRepository.setLocalFontPaths(localFontPaths);
FontRepository.reloadFonts();

For proper rendering of this text to PDF (or even viewing it in text editors), monospaced fonts should be used, such as “Consolas” or “Courier”. A list of popular monospaced fonts can be found here: List of monospaced typefaces - Wikipedia.

You can set the font using the following code: text.getTextState().setFont(new FontRepository().findFont(“Courier”));

If there is not enough space on the line to render all the text with the default font size, the font size should be decreased. Additionally, you can reduce the page margins. Please use the code below with all of these recommendations:

...
 // Add a new page in Pages collection of Document
Page page = pdfDocument.getPages().add();
page.getPageInfo().getMargin().setLeft(30);
page.getPageInfo().getMargin().setRight(10);

// Create an instance of TextFragmet and pass the text from reader object to its
// constructor as argument
TextFragment text = new TextFragment(Files.readString(txtDocumentFileName, ENCODING));
text.getTextState().setFontSize(7);
text.getTextState().setFont(new FontRepository().findFont("Courier"));
...
