We mostly use the mailinglist [EMAIL PROTECTED] instead of the forum (I think we have set it to hidden). The mailinglist is archived here: http://news.gmane.org/thread.php?group=gmane.comp.java.lib.itext.general > We're working on a project with i18n requirement, i.e. our biz data are all > unicode and in our customers' environemtn, it's common to have data in > japanese, simplified chinese, traditional chinese and english. as it > requires to specify a specific pdf font, say for example, we chose > STSong-Light, then even though it is supposed to be japanese, it'd be shown > as meaningless characters in chinese. may i know is this a shortcomings of > pdf by design or any workaround we can opt for? I'm not familiar with JasperReports, but I know that people are using iText to generate documents in almost every Asian language. My first guess would be that there is some encoding problem. You say you chose STSong-Light, but is there any way to specify the encoding? I forward this mail to the mailinglist; I hope there are some subscribers using JasperReports who can help you further. br, Bruno ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: VM Ware With VMware you can run multiple operating systems on a single machine.
