[iText-questions] font Arabic Transparent - get ??? for text

2008-04-26 Thread David Thielen
Hi;
 
I have a case where I am using Arabic Transparent as my font. It cannot 
create a Font that is Identity-H and so I have to create it using CP1256. When 
I write text if the text is Arabic I get  instead of the arabic characters. 
I tried converting the chars in the String I write to the codepage values but 
then I get the standard high-ansi chars from 0x80-0xff.
 
What do I need to do different?
 
thanks - dave

That font doesn't allow embedding and iText requires Identity-H and 
embedding. You can't use that font with iText (and I suspect with any pdf 
tool).

Hi;
 
I thought we could have fonts that use a codepage? It allows me to create one 
passing in a codepage to create it.
 
??? - thanks - dave
