Hi,

I am unable to write Chinese content into a PDF using your attached EmbeddedFonts.java. Later I found way to fix it by feeding in the "arialuni.ttf" instead of LiberationSans-Regular.ttf in your example. I had confirmed the Chinese PDF generation by writing a hardcoded Chinese data in my example. Later I had extended this piece of logic to write the desired PDF in my application but got into "java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: U+008A is not available in this font's encoding: WinAnsiEncoding". Please advise.

1. From my application, i call an external Webservice and that returns the Chinese + English content in response as a String,
2. I read this response string using UTF-8 as the Charset and unmarshal it to Java bean using JAXRB.
3. To the contentStream.drawString() i passed the string calling the getter method on the pojo which has Chinese data stored in a String variable. This is where i am getting the above exception. Please help me to fix this.

I am using PDFBox version 2.0.0.-RC3. Your help is much appreciated.

Regards,
Tiru
