Hi,
i'm trying to write Unicode text with an OpenType font.
But it doesn't work. When i use my OpenType font the unicode letters doesn't
show in the pdf.

Doesn't itext support Unicode with OpenType fonts?

(The OpenType font works fine if i use the BaseFont.CP1252 for texts with
characters that is supported with that encoding)


I tested with Unicode example in the tutorial
http://itextdocs.lowagie.com/examples/com/lowagie/examples/fonts/UnicodeExample.java

and changed line 52 from:

BaseFont bfComic = BaseFont.createFont("c:\\windows\\fonts\\comic.ttf",
BaseFont.IDENTITY_H, BaseFont.EMBEDDED);

to:

BaseFont bfComic = BaseFont.createFont("C:\\Documents and
Settings\\MAR\\JavaApplication1\\GillSansMTPro-Book.otf",
BaseFont.IDENTITY_H, BaseFont.EMBEDDED);


Here are the resulting files:
