Hi,


Thanks for the answer, Tilman.

I managed to get the Devanagari text exactly as it should, by using
java.awt.font.layoutGlyphVector().

Are they any chances to write a GlyphVector in a PDFBox page?
There was a discussion at [1] about using GlpyhVector, but we didn't make any descision nor did we implement anything.

Do you mimd to share some of your code as a possible starting point?

Hi,

This is not supported, sorry. PDFBox just outputs the glyphs for the
single characters and does not replace for ligatures.

Hi,

I am using pdfbox 2.0.4, and I am trying to output a pdf document with
text following devanagari text: कारणत्त्वङ्गवाश्वादीनमपीति चेत् युक्तम्.

The code is very simple:
    @Test
    public void testPdfBox() throws IOException {
        PDDocument document = new PDDocument();
        PDPage page = new PDPage();
        document.addPage(page);

        PDFont font = PDType0Font.load(document,
                new File("/home/claudius/workspace
s/repositories/backup/fonts/Sanskrit2003.ttf"));

        PDPageContentStream contentStream = new
PDPageContentStream(document, page);

        contentStream.beginText();
        contentStream.setFont(font, 12);
        contentStream.moveTextPositionByAmount(100, 700);
contentStream.showText("कारणत्त्वङ्गवाश्वादीनमपीति चेत् युक्तम्");
        contentStream.endText();

        // Make sure that the content stream is closed:
        contentStream.close();

        // Save the results and ensure that the document is properly
closed:
        document.save("target/" + name.getMethodName() + ".pdf");
        document.close();
    }

The output pdf file (attached) is not rendering correctly the string, as
it is above. Namely, the ligatures are not displayed, as if they do not
exist. On the other hand, if I am copying the text from the pdf file, and
paste it in eclipse, it shows perfectly.

I checked the pdf output with evince, firefox, and adobe reader 9, in
ubuntu.

Any idea on how to fix this display issue?

Thanks,
Claudius
