I just went through implementing a doc in Chinese and the first place I always looked for font issues was the system.out. Most of the time when I was getting "#" instead of the characters I wanted, there was an error pointing me in the right direction in my system.out log.

I have checked the various stages, from creating an XML file with castor with all the information from the database to be included in the PDF, to transforming this XML file and my XSL file to the input required to create the PDF with javax.xml.transform.Transformer. In the files, you can see the Russian Characters which are supposedly viewable on my PDF. I have downloaded various TTF fonts, which are meant to be able to handle Cyrillic characters. I followed the instructions on how to create an metrics.xml file for each one and have declared them in my userconfig.xml file. The only problem is, I still get #### instead of the words, or nothing at all. I have no idea what to do now, and was hoping perhaps someone could point me to a font that will work, or tell me exactly what I am doing wrong. I can provide any other information you might require. I am a novice at this, as this is my first job since graduating from university, so any help would be so very gratefully appreciated.
