It appears as if the java2d font rendering logic in new 2.x versions missed something with unicode support. I have pdfs being output wonderfully with my sample unicode text (bengali in this case) but when we try to produce images any glyphs we have which aren't english appear to just be rendered as "blank" somehow. (meaning the spacing and line heights look like there is ghost text taking up space there but maybe that's just our logic for laying out pdf)
Has anyone else tried to produce unicode based pdf images yet ?
