Hi,
I am trying to figure out if and how I can have a mixture of English and
Chinese characters in a fixed width font.
If I use Arial Unicode MS, the Chinese characters appear to be fixed
width, at least in this small sample, but the English characters are
then not fixed width and so I do not get the alignment I am looking for.
The code snippet below will show what I am trying to accomplish I think.
The resultant PDF shows the 1st paragraph of pure Chinese characters are
properly aligned, but the 2nd paragraph of mixed Chinese/English is not
aligned.
Can anyone tell me if there is a font that will behave the way I want,
or am I barking up the wrong tree altogether? If I cannot have things
align this way can someone point me towards a better approach to solve
this problem?
For what it's worth I am using itext-1.4.5 at present.
Thanks,
Jim
