I am not able to write Arabic text in unix os. Arabic text is printed
as blank.
below is my java code for same.
Font f = new Font(BaseFont.createFont(fontPath, BaseFont.IDENTITY_H,
BaseFont.EMBEDDED), 8, Font.NORMAL);
Font f1 = new Font(BaseFont.createFont(fontPath, BaseFont.CP1250,
BaseFont.EMBEDDED), 8, Font.NORMAL);
Several reasons:
- fontPath may be wrong or doesn't point to a font that knows how to
display Arabic,
- CP1250 is not the encoding you should use for Arabic (it's the
encoding for Polish, Czech, Slovak, Hungarian, Slovene, Bosnian,
Croatian, Serbian (Latin script), Romanian and Albanian), nor is CP1252
(a super-set of Latin-1) or CP1257 (Estonian, Latvian and Lithuanian).
- *As documented*: document.add() doesn't support Arabic ligatures; READ
THE DOCUMENTATION!
