creating a PDF document containing UTF-8 characters

[Melih Ovadya]

Hi,

I have a question regarding to UTF-8 characters when creating a PDF
document: 

I have the initial content in byte[] myBytes, and myBytes contains some
Japanese characters. Yet, once I render it, each Japanese character is
displayed as a pound sign (#). 

Is this a known bug, or am I missing something?

Thank you in advance. 

Regards,
Melih



Here is my code:
==================

InputSource is = new InputSource(new java.io.ByteArrayInputStream(myBytes));
is.setEncoding("UTF-8");
ByteArrayOutputStream out  = new ByteArrayOutputStream();

try {
        Driver driver = new Driver();
        driver.setInputSource(is);
        driver.setOutputStream(out);
        driver.setRenderer(Driver.RENDER_PDF);
        // transform XSL:FO to PDF
        driver.run();
} catch (Exception ex) {
} 


byte[] content = out.toByteArray();

java.io.FileOutputStream fos = new java.io.FileOutputStream("c:\\out.pdf");
for (int i=0 ; i<content.length ; i++) {
     fos.write(content[i]);
}
fos.close();
