Tilman Hausherr commented on PDFBOX-4100:
-----------------------------------------
here's what worked with the Latha font:
{code}
stream.showText( "\u0BCA\u0BB0க்கம்" );
{code}
So it's the reverse of what I found on that website. No idea why. And that is
only a solution for the "ரொ" and only for the "Latha" font, it doesn't look
good with the Arial Unicode font, that one has a dot in the middle. You'd have
to find out what works for other "special" glyphs. And that would only be good
enough as long as you don't do text extraction.
If you think this is useful, please bring up other examples that can be shared
in the future for others. Maybe something can be done on top of PDFBox, i.e.
string with Tamil is passed and processed and input string for showtext comes
out.
