hi bruno,
thank you for your kind reply.
Please read:

however, i do not see Traditional Chinese being supported in pace.pdf.
Send me the word for peace in Traditional Chinese in UNICODE and I'll
add it.
is
there a reason and a way around it, for example getting CJK i suppose?
The general idea of the example is: if you can represent a language with
UNICODE and if you have a font that has the unicode characters, you can
display it in PDF with iText. This goes for any language. You could use
CJK, but then you won't be able to embed the font and you will need
different systems for the different languages ( = more programming for you).
As for Traditional Chinese, please read the faq at http://www.unicode.org/
Q: Why is Unicode missing some characters from the Big Five character set?
A: The "Big Five" character set is an industrial standard commonly used
for traditional Chinese. There are, however, several versions of the Big
Five in common use, generally representing extensions of the formal
standard. There are two main versions, "plain Big Five" and "ETEN Big
Five" as well as numerous vendor- or platform- specific extensions. In
recent years, there have been further extensions such as the Hong Kong
Extension to Big Five and Big Five Plus.
The initial, unextended Big Five was the standard version of the
character set at the time that the Unicode Standard, Version 1.0, was
under development, and Unicode was designed to cover its ideographic
repertoire completely. This is reflected in the data files supplied by
the Unicode Consortium. Some vendors provide vendor-specific tables
showing mapping data for their custom Big Five extensions and Unicode.
The Unicode Consortium does not, however, provide data on every known
dialect of the Big Five, so it is possible that a particular dialect of
the Big Five is not included in the tables provided by Unicode.
