Cyberbit Bitstream also has a lot of glyphs. You may use FontSelector to
switch automatically fonts according to glyph availability but if you want a
job well done you'll select the fonts yourself. There are many fonts out
there but you'll have a lot of surprises if you read the license's fine
print. There are a list of fonts at
http://www.travelphrases.info/fonts.html.

Subject: [iText-questions] Mixed language text


I am working on creating a pdf but the text I am loading is mixed language
(English, Spanish, French, Chinese, Japanese, maybe Arabic). In looking in
the web postings I figured out how to use the arial unicode font and
Identity-H encoding to allow all of the characters to be shown. My issue now
is that, for the English, I wanted to use a nicer font than Arial (something
like Times New Roman). Do you know of a good way to use mixed fonts like
this? I was thinking that I could write a method that would take each String
one character at a time and figure out what font it was best suited for
(regular ASCII would be in Times, anything two-byte would be in Arial), do
you think this would work? Also, do you know of other fonts besides Arial
that include all of the characters.
 Thanks,
Andy
