Problem with Asian Fonts - Please see the attachement

Hi,

I am using FOP 0.20.5 and i have a problem with korean fonts.

The fonts are getting stored the right way in the DB but when i am printing as a PDF they are not getting displayed properly.Please find the output PDF attached.

Can somebody give me some solutions for this.
I cannot use Asian specific fonts because the same FO is going to be used across all languages!!!

Thanks & Regards,
Rakesh Kumar S

I would suggest using Arial Unicode, or some other font which covers a larger 
subset of Unicode blocks.

This is my main beef with FOP too, that it can't handle font substitution at a 
per-character level, using Java's (or the OS's) rules.
