Re: CJK PDF support



Hi,
	Not seeing an answer for a month, I stared working on this. My specific 
need is to make PDF work with ttf fonts, big fonts which generally has around 
30000+ glyphs in them, currently there's no support for those complex fonts ( it 
is supported in PS printing by divding the big font into a series of font pages) 
in PDF and I'm looking into that now.
	
	The direction I'm taking is to subset the original font into simple ttf 
fonts having 256 characters each and use them for showing the glyph.
	
	Just want to make sure effort is not duplicated, that's why I sent the 
mail.

Regards,
Suresh
