You have three options: - If your pdf is to be read with Acrobat 5 with the Adobe CJK font pack then all that is required is to tweak the font supplement from Adobe-CNS1-0 to Adobe-CNS1-3. I'll have this in the next release, it will still work in Acrobat 4.0 but without the new characters, of course.
- your font contains the characters from Unicode block \uff00 (Halfwidth and Fullwidth Forms). See http://www.lowagie.com/iText/faq.html#preformattedtext. - Otherwise it's just a matter of programming although I must say that a font that doesn't include \u0020-\u007e characters is really weird. The sequence is as follows: 1 - create two fonts, the HK and TIMES for example. 2 - read the text from the database 3 - divide the text in chunks each one using a font depending on the character range. 4 - assemble the chunks into a phrase and use the phrase.
