I have a HTML String with Chinese/Korean characters. I want to convert the HTML to PDF using iText. I have read that we need to embed the FONT to the PDF to get the unicode characters to show up on PDF.
When I am trying to embed wts11.ttf (With encoding IDENTITY_H) or STSong-Light( with encodingUniGB-UCS2-H), I am able to see only Chinese characters but I cannot see Korean characters. I tried using arialuni.ttf (With encoding IDENTITY_H) but still can see only Chinese characters but not Korean.
Can someone please tell me what should be exact font. Or if I am missing something.
Below is the code snippet:
Document document = new Document();
Paragraph paragraph=new Paragraph();
PdfWriter.getInstance(document, baos);
document.open();
BaseFont bff = BaseFont.createFont("STSong-Light", "UniGB-UCS2-H", BaseFont.EMBEDDED);
Font f = new Font(bff);
// FontFactory.registerDirectories();
// Font f = FontFactory.getFont("Arial Unicode MS", BaseFont.IDENTITY_H, BaseFont.EMBEDDED);
document.add(new Paragraph());
HTMLWorker htmlWorker = new HTMLWorker(document);
List<Element> objects=htmlWorker.parseToList(new StringReader(message),null);
paragraph.setFont(f);
for (Element elem : objects) {
paragraph.add(elem);
}
document.add(paragraph);
Font fontbold=FontFactory.getFont("assets/fonts/Malgun-Gothic-Bold_29380.ttf", BaseFont.IDENTITY_H,BaseFont.EMBEDDED, 12);
