Arabic Text Not Appearing in Generated PDF #938

Open HectorSponsor opened 1 year ago

HectorSponsor commented 1 year ago

I am experiencing a problem when trying to add Arabic text to the PDF. Even following the example on the link below, I only get blank space on the generated PDF.

https://github.com/LibrePDF/OpenPDF/blob/bff6520a368fe0a35b443740a36cba108f4ed1a4/pdf-toolbox/src/test/java/com/lowagie/examples/fonts/styles/RightToLeft.java

ColumnText and PdfTable didn't work to show the Arabic text. It's important to note that I used the same font as in the example (as well as other fonts) and the Arabic text was in its Unicode escape characters.

Environment:

Please let me know if there's any other information required to investigate and address this issue. Thank you.

A minimal code example will be appreciated. Does it work with simple Paragraphs and Phrases?
