no, I want to associate font with locale
i.e. you have property file "defFonts.properties" let the key be "
pdf.default.fontfamily" and in this file it is not set(default language
reports are not changed) but in defFonts_pl_PL.properties you have this key
set to Arial in defFonts_ru.properties this key is set to your Cyrillic
font, so pdf font is based on user locale.

Krzysztof,
Let me some examples. I have attached to this message three quotation
generated with different locale (Russian, French and Italian).
Font is Arial(TTF) from Windows XP. Nothing else.
Is that meet your case?
