Hi

I am trying to use iText to output a document containing the "LATIN
SMALL LETTER OPEN O" character described here:
http://www.fileformat.info/info/unicode/char/0254/index.htm

Every time I try and output this character, I get a blank where I
would expect to see it. I have tried with different fonts, including
those that I have confirmed contain the character I would like to
print.

Here is the Java I am using on Ubuntu:

                Document document = new Document();
                try {
                        PdfWriter.getInstance(document, new 
FileOutputStream("/home/rich/test.pdf"));
                        document.open();
                        Phrase instance = Phrase.getInstance("Test: \u0254");
                        
FontFactory.register("times","/usr/share/fonts/truetype/msttcorefonts/times.ttf");
                        Font font = FontFactory.getFont("times");
                        instance.setFont(font);
                        document.add(instance);
                } catch (DocumentException de) {
                        System.err.println(de.getMessage());
                } catch (IOException ioe) {
                        System.err.println(ioe.getMessage());
                }
                document.close();

The test.pdf file gets created, but only contains "Test:". I have
tried opening the same file on Vista, and get the same result.

Does anyone have any ideas what I might be doing incorrectly?

Thanks in advance for any help!

Rich
