Enhancement (or changes) for Asian font support

[Feng Dihai <fengdh (at) gmail.com>]

Thanks for your reply.
Your explainations are very useful for me, but I still have some 
different opions.

About embedment of Unicode TrueType Font, I do really mean not to 
embed only some Japanese(or Chinese/Korean) font which are quite 
large even for a subset and obviously installed on our target 
user's machine. In fact, there is a popular commercial report 
software in Japan (WingArc SVF, not based on iText) which can 
produce pdf files without embedment of Japanese font. Those pdf 
files are not intended to be distributed widely but inside a 
local company as a report solution. I think it is better that 
iText does not force embedment of Unicode TrueType Font but 
give a chance to change.

About output text with an alternate font, your suggestion on 
FontSelector is very helpful, but it seems only supporting high 
level objects. In my case, PdfContentByte is used to obtain 
high performance in a template-based report tool. Is there a 
similar mechanic for PdfContentByte? 

Yours sincerely,
Feng Dihai
