Jai Narayanan commented on PDFBOX-4100:
---------------------------------------

I checked out Apache FOP. We have lots of existing code in PDFBox which will be 
difficult to port it to FOP now. Can you show me how you passed every single 
glyph and created the PDF which displays the Tamil alphabets correctly?

> I am loading Arial Unicode Font and trying to render some Tamil Language 
> text. It is not rendering in proper order
