Hi,

How can I use "exotic fonts" (japanese, chinese...) in templates ?

I'd like to use the FontFactory but it doesn't seem to be possible :

template.beginText();
Font font = FontFactory.getFont("MS UI Gothic", BaseFont.IDENTITY_H,
BaseFont.EMBEDDED, 12);
// Unfortunatly impossible !
template.setFontAndSize(font , 12);
template.setTextMatrix(100, 100);
template.showText("\u304a\u3081");
template.endText();

After that I tried :

template.beginText();
BaseFont font = BaseFont.createFont("c:\\windows\\fonts\\msgothic.ttc",
BaseFont.IDENTITY_H, BaseFont.EMBEDDED);
template.setFontAndSize(font, 12);
template.setTextMatrix(100, 100);
template.showText("\u304a\u3081");
template.endText();

But it throws an Exception :
Font 'c:\windows\fonts\msgothic.ttc' with 'Identity-H' is not recognized.

Is there a way to do that ?
Thanks.
