PDF Asian character support - JasperReports

问题:

I am trying to provide Asian character support for PDF documents created using Jasper Reports.

I have tried configuring jasper to use Asian character encoding with the iText-Asian libraries to no avail. For all of the different charsets I used the Asian characters always appear blank.

Has anyone successfully configured jasper reports to displayed Asian characters in PDF documents? If so How?!!

Yes. Font Extensions are the answer to everything. Well, at least they are the answer to this.

I wrote an article about font extensions. It shows specifically the case of Asian characters not showing up in the generated PDF, which appears to be your main symptom. By doing that you're sure to use a good font. And once you're using an appropriate font, then all your reports should be fine.
