Luis Bernardo commented on FOP-2250:
------------------------------------

partial implementation applied: \
http://svn.apache.org/viewvc?view=revision&revision=1495898.

both the drawTextAsBitmap() and drawTextNative() of PCLPainter have been updated but \
only the bitmap path has been tested. it would be good to have a font that causes the \
code to take the other path.

the drawtTextAsBitmap() path seems to work well with fonts like Simplified Arabic and \
Traditional Arabic; it does not work well with a font like Lateef or Sheherazade. I \
think the problem is due to the fact that the Java2DPainter.drawText() relies on \
java.awt.Font.createGlyphVector(), which cannot be relied upon for complex scripts, \
as mentioned in a comment in the JDK source.
