Description

		try {
			// Create a document and add a page to it
			PDDocument document = new PDDocument();
			PDPage page = new PDPage();
			document.addPage( page );

			// Create a new font object by loading a TrueType font into the document
			PDFont font = PDType0Font.load(document, new File("ARIALUNI.TTF"));

			// Start a new content stream which will "hold" the to be created content
			PDPageContentStream contentStream = new PDPageContentStream(document, page);

			// Define a text content stream using the selected font, moving the cursor and drawing the text "Hello World"
			contentStream.beginText();
			contentStream.setFont( font, 12 );
			contentStream.newLineAtOffset( 100, 700 );
			contentStream.showText( "กูกินก้งปิ้งอยู่ในถ้ำ" );
			contentStream.endText();

			// Make sure that the content stream is closed:
			contentStream.close();

			// Save the results and ensure that the document is properly closed:
			document.save( "ArialUnicode.pdf");
			document.close();
		} catch (IOException e) {
			e.printStackTrace();
		}

The code above is modified from sample code provided via PDFBox example.
I tried to use Arial Unicode font which is shipped as part of Windows 7.
The generated PDF missing some glyph and render some other gibberish glyph.
