... how come this works.

iText, as some other libraries, has implemented a high level text formatting
API. PDFBox doesn't have that. iText and PDFBox differed and still do in their
origins and the use cases they cover.
One can implement RTL text today using PDFBox but it's a lot of work given the
low level APIs for that. To do text layout PDFBox only gives you the very
basics reflecting what PDF as a format has to offer (no BIDI reorder, no word
forming ...) . So what we are discussing is to provide a higher level API to
make it easier to do that.

> the problem is, in some languages letters need to be joined together for
> example, consider this word
> {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
> related to font.
