Hello Robert. I had this same dilemna last week. It took me almost 3
freakin days to figure this out. Anyway, to save you all the trouble
in the world ;) here's how you should do it
Make sure that your XML is written in UTF-8
E.g.
PrintWriter write = new PrintWriter(new OutputStreamWriter(new
FileOutputStream(xmlFile), "UTF-8"));
Then your xml code should look like this
E.g. (this displays chinese characters)
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE ITEXT SYSTEM
"http://www.lowagie.com/iText/itext.dtd";>
<body>
<font face="STSong-Light"
encoding="UniGB-UCS2-H">CHINESE_CHARACTERS_HERE_IN_UNICODE</font>
</body>
And my xml definition in the tagmap.xml for <body> and <font> are as
follows
<tag name="itext" alias="body" />
<tag name="chunk" alias="font">
<attribute name="size" alias="size" />
<attribute name="font" alias="face" />
<attribute name="color" alias="color" />
<attribute name="style" alias="style" />
<attribute name="leading" alias="leading" />
<attribute name="align" alias="align" />
</tag>

That's the font encoding, not the xml file encoding.

There are more ways to represent fonts than just the 256 characters.
