Answer 5

I've found that, at least for me, I must explicitly set the pdfEncoding attribute, as well as pdfFontName and isPdfEmbedded, on each font tag in the xml, even when using the system encoding, and that "Identity-H" seems to be needed when using unicode.

So:

1. Make sure your ttf font files are available on the classpath
2. <font ... pdfFontName="filename.ttf"
3.    isPdfEmbedded="true"
4.    pdfEncoding="Identity-H" ... />
