[Ilugc] Support for unicode in asciidoc
Friends It seems that asciidoc is not supporting unicode characters. or it is not working for me. I am getting only characters like "வேண்டும்" in the pdf generated by a2x for the text formatted in asciidoc with tamil content. Is it possible to work on unicode text with asciidoc?

If we were to take asciidoc->xsltproc->fop route, we will have to embed the Tamil font into the PDF document, and specify for which portions of text it has to be used. The following page has some suggestions, but it is not for the faint at heart. http://www.javaranch.com/journal/200409/CreatingMultipleLanguagePDFusingApacheFOP.html Regards, Vijay ___ ILUGC Mailing List: http://www.ae.iitm.ac.in/mailman/listinfo/ilugc
