FlyingSaucer LTR/RTL/BiDi issue with arabic text

Finally I'm able to print arabic text in rtl/ltr using flying saucer. In my code I'm giving width and alignment for every arabic text block, but in general it works fine. (Edited) Code is large to print it down here, please find the code on Google groups, the links are in the comments.


Same issue I was facing, only solution i can find out was using arial fonts import/add arial.ttf and arialbold.ttf files in resources folder of your project.

            OutputStream outputStream = response.getOutputStream();
        ITextRenderer renderer = new ITextRenderer();
        // renderer.getFontResolver().addFont("/fonts/arialbold.ttf",
        // BaseFont.IDENTITY_H,BaseFont.EMBEDDED);
        renderer.getFontResolver().addFont("/fonts/arial.ttf", BaseFont.IDENTITY_H, BaseFont.EMBEDDED);
        renderer.getFontResolver().addFont("/fonts/arialbold.ttf", BaseFont.IDENTITY_H, BaseFont.EMBEDDED);

        // SharedContext sharedContext = renderer.getSharedContext();
        // sharedContext.setPrint(true);
        // sharedContext.setInteractive(false);
        // sharedContext.setReplacedElementFactory(new B64ImgReplacedElementFactory());
        // sharedContext.getTextRenderer().setSmoothingThreshold(0);

        renderer.setDocumentFromString(content);
        renderer.layout();
        renderer.createPDF(outputStream);
        renderer.finishPDF();
        outputStream.close();

in your css use

html, body {
 margin: 0;
 padding: 0;
 font-family: Arial, Arial Bold;
 font-size: 10px;
 line-height: 14px;
}
