    <p>I have been working with ttf font in java using itext (lowagie) sdk. I would like to explain my problem by example. </p> <p>I have a table row where I want to show some text ( bengali ttf). The text is supposed to take 2 lines but it is taking 3 lines. The problem is, first line is showing only 5 words and huge white space at the end visually it appears like it can take 8 words easily. </p> <p>Please note that if I use English I don't face such problem. I assume that the bengali unicode is causing the problem. If there is any workout regarding the problem then it would be great.</p> <p>I re-explain my problem by example:</p> <pre><code>Output: Line1: AAA BBBB CCCC DDDD EEEE &lt;BLANK SPACE BLANK SPACE&gt;ENDOFLINE Line2: CC DD EE PP QQ RR SS EE &lt;BLANK SPACE BLANK SPACE&gt;ENDOFLINE Line3: CC DD EE PP QQ RR &lt;BLANK SPACE BLANK SPACE&gt;ENDOFLINE Expected: Line1: AAA BBBB CCCC DDDD EEEE CC DD EE PP #ENDOFLINE Line2: QQ RR SS EE CC DD EE PP QQ RR #ENDOFLINE </code></pre> <p>Source Module:</p> <pre><code>fontpath="D://Bangla.ttf"; this.banglaFont = BaseFont.createFont(fontpath,BaseFont.IDENTITY_H,BaseFont.EMBEDDED); PdfPTable bTable = new PdfPTable(1); bTable.getDefaultCell().setBorder(1); bTable.setWidthPercentage(100); bTable.addCell(backTableRow1cell(28.5f, 8.8f, CardStr.GOVTNOTE_BNG)); public static PdfPCell backTableRow1cell(float hght, float fontSize, String txt) { PdfPCell c1 = new PdfPCell(); c1.setFixedHeight(hght); c1.setHorizontalAlignment(Element.ALIGN_RIGHT); ITextUtil.setCellBorder(c1, 0, 0, 1, 0); ITextUtil.setCellPadding(c1, 0, 7, 0, 0); c1.addElement(TextProcessing.designPar(TextProcessing.getFontStyle(VoterCard.banglaFont, fontSize, Color.BLACK, Font.NORMAL), txt, Element.ALIGN_LEFT, 8, 2)); return c1; } public static Paragraph designPar(Font fnt, String txt, int alignment, int leading, int afterspacing) { Paragraph phrs = new Paragraph(txt, fnt); phrs.setLeading(leading); phrs.setAlignment(alignment); return phrs; } public static Font getFontStyle(BaseFont baseFont, float size, Color clr, int FontStyle) { Font fnt = new Font(baseFont, size); fnt.setColor(clr); fnt.setStyle(FontStyle); return fnt; } </code></pre> <p><img src="https://i.stack.imgur.com/Iexxm.jpg" alt="enter image description here"></p>

    3. COYour getFontStyle() method won't work. The style is already defined by the baseFont object; you can't change it. I think Bengali requires ligatures. Currently this is only supported for Arabic, not for Indic. What is the value of CardStr.GOVTNOTE_BNG? Maybe it contains non-breaking space characters instead of normal spaces. Plenty of other things could be wrong, but nobody will be able to help you without a sample that reproduces the problem. You're using the classes with my name (lowagie). That version is obsolete: http://lowagie.com/itext2 Maybe you're facing a bug that is already fixed.

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
