PDFBox is low level. So a method that would split a string and then change
fonts when needed doesn't exist. But it sounds like a good idea to add it as an
example.
I don't know when or if I'll do that, but the code isn't difficult - just try
to encode each character, and when the exception is thrown, try the next font
in the list. Collect as much as possible and then output, then work on the rest.

> Hi,
> how is it possible to create a fallback for languages that aren’t supported

> sans-serif

> asian characters.
> Is there an open soure font which contains all these characters like the
