Omid Pourhadi commented on PDFBOX-3550:
---------------------------------------
Hi,
this is a simple iText example which works smoothly and correctly and it is
using nothing but AWT and Java without any external libraries AFAIK, I'm not a
font expert but I'm wondering how come this works.
{code:java}
try
{
Document document = new Document();
PdfWriter writer = PdfWriter.getInstance(document, new
FileOutputStream("/home/omidp/temp/out.pdf"));
document.open();
//
MultiColumnText mct = new MultiColumnText();
mct.setRunDirection(PdfWriter.RUN_DIRECTION_RTL);
mct.setColumnsRightToLeft(true);
BaseFont bf =
BaseFont.createFont("/home/omidp/sts_workspace/htmltopdf/src/main/resources/BYekan.ttf",
BaseFont.IDENTITY_H, true);
Font font = new Font(bf, 12);
Paragraph p = new Paragraph("سلام", font);
mct.addRegularColumns(document.left(), document.right(), 10f, 3);
mct.addElement(p);
//
document.add(mct);
document.close();
}
catch (Exception e)
{
e.printStackTrace();
}
{code}
PS : it is based on iText 2.1.7 (one of the oldest version)

> the problem is, in some languages letters need to be joined together for

> {color:red}
> سلام
> {color}
> but after creating a pdf it contorts to
> {color:red}
> سلام
> {color}
> with extra semi-spaces. I think this is a bug in pdfbox and definetly is not
