I tried using the FontSelector approach but can't see to get the Indic/Arabic
pdfs to render appropriately. Using the same fonts with the FontMapper works.
Is this a limitation with FontSelectors or am I missing something?
Thanks,
Priya

Hi, I'm new to iText so please bear with me if this is a dumb question.
I need to create pdf files in different languages (depending on the user's
locale). I looked around to see how it's done and I see the following
1. examples using the FontSelector class, inserting fonts in the appropriate
order and then processing the text to be rendered against it.
2. examples using the FontMapper/DefaultFontMapper to provide the pdf font for
a given awt font.
My question is: What is the difference between the 2 approaches, or when should
either be used over the other?
As a follow up, I tried using the latter and was running into problems with
fetching the dir (that contains the fonts) to be passed to the
defaultFontMapper.insertDirectory from my jar file. Below is the code snippet:
// The fonts are under "/iText/fonts" in the jarUrl url
= getClass().getResource("/iText/fonts");
//This yields the url://x-transient://365/iText/fonts, which is invalid
// Hence, this does nothing...defaultFontMapper.insertDirectory(new File(url));
What is the right way to do this?
Help deeply appreciated!
Thanks,Priya
