Problem with asian language fonts
Hi
I have problem regarding display of Asian Language fonts in FOP.
1. I am using Castor Framework to convert my Objects to XML.
2. I am passing this XML and the input XSL to the transformer and flushing out the PDF.
In the DB they are sorted as encoded characters, now i am confused where i have to do this conversion into chinese characters.
Should this be done by castor framewrok which transforms my objects into XML,should i introduce the encoding here?
Or
Should i get the characters as encoded string in the XML and convert them into chinese characters while i am printing them as PDF.
transformer.setOutputProperty(OutputKeys.ENCODING,"ISO-8859-1");
transformer.transform(source, new StreamResult(outTransform));
I am using arial unicode font for display.
Thanks,
Rakesh Kumar S

You need to make sure that every part in your processing chain that does
byte to string or vice versa does the conversion using a UTF-8 encoding.

This won't work as iso-8859-1 doesn't include Chinese Characters only
Western Characters.

Any Unicode-based encoding will do the job. One of the UTF-16 (Big
Endian or Little Endian) is probably your best choice, since UTF-8 is a
variable-length encoding that will use 3 bytes or more for Asian
characters, while UTF-16 will use 16 bits flat for every character.

Hi,
Which is the encoding format that will support both asian language and
western fonts?
Thanks,
