             Summary: Two PDFont to create PDF documents in CJK and 
non-ISO-8859-1 languages
                 Key: PDFBOX-2524
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PDFBOX-2524
             Project: PDFBox
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: Writing
    Affects Versions: 2.0.0
            Reporter: Keiji Suzuki


I made two PDFont classes for creating PDF documents in CJK and non-ISO-8859-1 
languages.

One is PDType0CJKFont. This is for using CJK fonts included in the Asian font 
package of Adobe Reader. This font doesn't require the target font at the time 
of creating PDF documentary. This font uses UTF-16 as a text code and supports 
surrogate pair characters.

The other is PDType0UnicodeFont. This is for using TrueType Type0 Font which 
can deal with any Unicode characters like a ArialUnicodeMS. Only the characters 
which are used actually in the document are embedde. Realizing this, you have 
to call the PDType0Unicode.reloadFont() method just before closing 
PDPageContentStream. I think this specification is ugly, but I could not 
thought of a suitable way to remove this spec. This font uses the original 
glyph code of the embedded font as a text code and supports surrogate pair 
characters too.

Example programs using these two fonts are also attached.
