I had a look last week at fop to read GSUB, GDEF and GPOS and got it to work (i.e. just that it reads the tables), but ended up with about 20 additional files and I did not even include the bidi files yet. Then I looked at the test code and sadly it's all arab glyph names. (I had hoped we could start with latin ligatures like fl, ffl, fi etc)

Hi,

I'd suggest to take a look at Apache FOP to generate such PDFs.

At that point in time there are some important pieces missing in PDFBox to make 
that an easy task:

# no support for different writing directions in operations such as showText
# no GSUB table parsing to get proper joining characters

it's not that it can't be done with the current code base but it will be a 
major task to implement a basic RTL and complex script support before you can 
concentrate on 'printing' your text.

Hello,

You didn't get an answer because it isn't supported (and you're on the wrong 
mailing list too).

None of us knows that language, which has different glyphs than the ones we use. From 
what I know, it isn't enough to just reverse the characters, the glyphs (which is the 
"image" of one or of several characters) must be chosen depending on their 
position, so that they are joined.

No it hasn't. Where did you see that?
