iText has difficulties making correct ligatures in Hindi; see:

No developer from India has helped us by contributing code that
solves this problem; I you can help us you are very welcome.
If you don't have the time, or don't want to do this for free, you
could work around the problem using PdfGraphics2D:

Hello,

Even I used iText APi to generate PDF. the Font I have used is Mangal Font and UTF-8 for file encoding.

Source Text : Cargo (कार्गो)
Target Text on PDF I see : Caargo (कार््गो)

I see disjointed characters where joint words are used.

I created an instance of BaseFont for using Mangal and referred it for generating PDF.

BaseFont bfont = BaseFont.createFont("C:\\......\\Received Files\\MANGAL.ttf", BaseFont.IDENTITY_H, BaseFont.EMBEDDED);

1) Am I missing some setting or using incorrect font?

Kindly assist.

Prasanna Joshi

Source Text : Cargo (कार्गो)
