Using iText to output PDF file containing Korean characters

[Bo Wang]

I have a question about how to use the iText to create a pdf
file containing Korean characters. When I
download the Asian Font Pack from adobe's website, I find the font file
for Korean is different from those of
Chinese and Japanese, it has a extension name called otf (open type font
file), and when I use the
MakeCJK.java file within iText, those propertites files for Korean can
not be created correctly, there are
always some exception, also when I changed the test.java file and try to
output some Korean characters, it
doesn't work. here is the code:
BaseFont bfChineseSimplified =
BaseFont.createFont("HYSMyeongJo-Medium","UniKS-UCS2-H",false);
.......
cb.showText("\ubce8\ubcfe\ubdf4");
it works for Chinese and Japanese, but Korean seems to be different.
thanks in advance for your help.
