Luis Bernardo commented on FOP-2250:
------------------------------------
partial implementation applied:
http://svn.apache.org/viewvc?view=revision&revision=1495898.
both the drawTextAsBitmap() and drawTextNative() of PCLPainter have been
updated but only the bitmap path has been tested. it would be good to have a
font that causes the code to take the other path.
the drawtTextAsBitmap() path seems to work well with fonts like Simplified
Arabic and Traditional Arabic; it does not work well with a font like Lateef or
Sheherazade. I think the problem is due to the fact that the
Java2DPainter.drawText() relies on java.awt.Font.createGlyphVector(), which
cannot be relied upon for complex scripts, as mentioned in a comment in the JDK
source.
