I am using Flying saucer 9.x to generate pdf from HTML document.
I added ArialUnicodeMS font to support all the Asian languages. However, the font takes effect if and only if it is mentioned as first priority like below:
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
<head>
<style type="text/css">
.multiLang {
font-family: "ArialUnicodeMS", "Arial", "sans-serif", "serif";
}
</style>
<title>Test</title>
</head>
<body>
<div class="multiLang">
<h1>
This is from the div: <br/>
<i>
KA:ಸ್ವತಂತ್ರರಾಗಿ<br/>
HN:प्रत्येक व्यक्ति<br/>
CH: 长部山 卡什亚普<br/>
JP: アルン <br/>
Thai: อรุณ <br/>
Russia: Приходите <br/>
Korean: 와서 먹어 <br/>
</i>
</h1>
</div>
</body>
</html>
The problem here is that it changes the look and feel of the PDF because I have given ArialUnicodeMS as first priority fonts. So I added ArialUnicodeMS as last priority font.
.multiLang {
font-family: "Arial", "sans-serif", "serif", "ArialUnicodeMS";
}
Although it considers Arial sans-serif font for rendering, it fails to print all language fonts (Because, ArialUnicodeMS as last priority is ignored.)
This however works in browsers but not while generating PDF. Am I making some syntactical error here? I tried replacing double quotes with single quotes but still no luck.
