using java.awt.Font
Hello!
I want to create a PDF file with text. The language of the text is
depending on the language-settings in the application. The application
supports many languages … also Chinese, Korean etc. So I cannot work with
one font. In the application i have now the font as java.awt.Font
available. Is there a way to use this direct? For example something like
contentStream.setFont((PDFont) [java.awt.Font], 10);
or a way to create this with something similar like
PDFont font = PDTrueTypeFont.loadTTF(doc, [java.awt.Font]);
?
Yours
Florian

Indian, Arabic, Thai replace glyphs based on the position. Arabic is
right to left. There is no info (there was a warning in the past, but
people got confused because the warning came also for normal fonts,
because of the support of ligatures). If it looks crappy, then you'll
know it isn't supported.
Chinese, Korean and Japanese is supported.

Getting the name / location of an java.awt.Font is tricky and depends on
the jdk version and it uses internal sun.* classes. You need to use the
debugger, then cast to the actual object, see what methods are
available, etc. I tried this years ago and after a few hours I had the
file name.
You could try to use https://github.com/rototor/pdfbox-graphics2d . This
is on top of PDFBox, we have nice contacts with the developer and he's
great.

Re: using java.awt.Font

Sadly this does not help. I only have a java.awt.Font object and do not
know from which font-file it comes from. So i cannot load this files. And i
only have one font per PDF ... so i do not need to load multiple fonts at
once ... but i need a hint how to solve this with java.awt.Font ... or a
way how i can figure out the font-file to a java.awt.Font object ... Name
of font does not help ... i tried already but the name of the font is not
always like the filename.
Yours
Florian
