Hello all,

I have a question regarding using the FontSelector with the CJK support.

I’m retrieving data from a database in UTF-8 format which may be Chinese or Japanese.  I’ve created a FontSelector to handle this text:

        FontSelector selector = new FontSelector();

        selector.addFont(FontFactory.getFont(FontFactory.HELVETICA, size, style));

        selector.addFont(FontFactory.getFont("STSong-Light", "UniGB-UCS2-H", BaseFont.NOT_EMBEDDED, size, style));

        selector.addFont(FontFactory.getFont("MSung-Light", "UniCNS-UCS2-H", BaseFont.NOT_EMBEDDED, size, style));

        selector.addFont(FontFactory.getFont("HeiseiMin-W3", "UniJIS-UCS2-H", BaseFont.NOT_EMBEDDED, size, style));

However, when the text is Japanese, it’s still using the Chinese font (ex selector.process(“\u0420\u0430\u0431\u043e\u0442\u0430”);).  Is there a way based on just the unicode string that I can determine the correct font to use?

Thanks!
