I'm investigating this using IBM's ICU4J but it's not an easy topic.
I'm trying to extract just the RTL algorithms and the arabic shaping to make
it lighter. It's not for tomorrow, though.

That's already semi-supported although there's no Paragraph support.

Maybe. The biggest problem with CFF fonts is that they generaly
contain big CJK charsets and iText doesn't subset type1.

No. I believe that OpenType is fully Unicode aware. Special
characters go into the private block Unicode.

iText is essentially user-driven. Do you have any sugestions?
