I'm using itext for creating PDF file with Unicode encoding.
My workstation is Windows Vista, so I create fonts using this construction:
--------------------------
BaseFont arialUnicode =
BaseFont.createFont("C:\\Windows\\Fonts\\arialuni.ttf", BaseFont.IDENTITY_H,
BaseFont.EMBEDDED);
--------------------------
Then i moved to linux and therefore expirienced exception - can't find font
I searched API and docs and found FontFactory.registerDirectories()
After invocation of this method I'm printing out all registered fonts using
code (all next code snippets run under Windows Vista):
--------------------------
Set fonts = FontFactory.getRegisteredFonts();
for (Object font : fonts) {
System.out.println(font);
}
--------------------------
that prints a lot of font names, and also "arialunicodems" and "arial
unicode ms".
I then tried both of them to pass into BaseFont.createFont() using code:
--------------------------
BaseFont arialUnicode = BaseFont.createFont("arialunicodems",
BaseFont.IDENTITY_H, BaseFont.EMBEDDED);
--------------------------
, but that code throws an exception:
--------------------------
Exception in thread "main" com.lowagie.text.DocumentException: Font
'arialunicodems' with 'Identity-H' is not recognized
--------------------------
Once generated on Linux, PDF file should open (and unicode text should not
be broken) on other Windows machines.
What am I doing wrong and how can I make the program to work on both Windows
and Linux? (suppose I can copy ARIALUNI.TTF on Linux)
