I have big trouble with "Combined Fonts" (Japanese & English).
I have to create a PDF document from HTML content which is shown in my website. For that I have used <cfdocument> and implemented the PDF from the HTML content. But my content includes both Japanese & English content and which is appear in a different font in the created PDF than what is on my website. The issue occurred only in the case of combined Japanese & English section.
The requirement is:
- For English content, the font should be Verdana.
- For Japanese content, the font should be Simson.
I have implemented the same with Korean, Chinese, French and it's working.
For outputting the special characters, I have added <cfprocessingDirective pageEncoding="utf-8"> above the code. But I still get weird font for the contents in both English and Japanese.
The code I have tried is given below,
<cfcontent type="application/pdf">
<cfheader name="Content-Disposition" value="attachment;filename=test.pdf">
<cfprocessingdirective pageencoding="utf-8">
<cfdocument format="PDF" localurl="yes" marginTop=".25" marginLeft=".25" marginRight=".25" marginBottom=".25" pageType="custom" pageWidth="8.5" pageHeight="10.2">
<cfoutput>
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

What else should I do to fix this problem?
Thank you.
As per the results I have got and research, I have found that there is an issue with PDF style rendering for English with Japanese content.
So finally I found a solution,
I don't know whether this is the proper solution for this issue. This is what I have done for solving the issue.
