Description

I practice the PDF generate code for chinese character and load the chinese font ttf, but can not get the chinese PDF with correct display.'
The code is as below: The font coding is UTF-8

doc = new PDDocument();
PDPage page = new PDPage();
doc.addPage( page );
PDFont font = PDTrueTypeFont.loadTTF(doc, "d:\\temp\\ttf
fireflysung.ttf");
PDPageContentStream contentStream = new PDPageContentStream(doc, page);
contentStream.beginText();
contentStream.moveTextPositionByAmount(100, 700);
contentStream.setFont(font,12);

contentStream.drawString("中文測試");
contentStream.endText();
contentStream.close();
doc.save("d:\\temp
helloworld.pdf");
