NAME

       PDF::API2::Resource::CIDFont::CJKFont - Deprecated base class for CJK fonts

DESCRIPTION

       This is not the CJK font support you are looking for.  It dates back to the days when
       Unicode was young and poorly supported.  PDFs created using this class are not portable.

       Instead, use a regular TrueType or OpenType font that includes Unicode support and create
       your PDF normally:

           use PDF::API2;
           use utf8;

           my $pdf = PDF::API2->new();
           my $font = $pdf->font('/path/to/font.ttf');
           my $page = $pdf->page();
           my $content = $page->text();
           $content->font($font, 24);

           # Chinese
           $content->translate(72, 72 * 9);
           $content->text('你好');

           # Japanese
           $content->distance(0, -72);
           $content->text('こんにちは');

           # Korean
           $content->distance(0, -72);
           $content->text('안녕하세요');

           $pdf->save('hello.pdf');

       Note: The maintainer is not familiar with CJK languages and has deprecated this class
       based on his current understanding of Unicode and from reading many bug reports.  If you
       are successfully using the CJK support from this class and think it should not be
       deprecated, please contact him to discuss.

DEPRECATED METHODS

       $font = $class->new($pdf, $cjk_font_name, %options)
           Returns a CJK font object.  The requested font will not be embedded in the PDF, so it
           will only be readable on computers that have the font installed.

           Available fonts:

           Chinese (Traditional)
               Ming, Ming-Bold, Ming-Italic, and Ming-BoldItalic

           Chinese (Simplified)
               Song, Song-Bold, Song-Italic, and Song-BoldItalic

           Korean
               MyungJo, MyungJo-Bold, MyungJo-Italic, and MyungJo-BoldItalic

           Japanese (Mincho Serif)
               KozMin, KozMin-Bold, KozMin-Italic, and KozMin-BoldItalic

           Japanese (Gothic Sans Serif)
               KozGo, KozGo-Bold, KozGo-Italic, KozGo-BoldItalic

           If the text isn't UTF-8, include an "-encode" option with the encoding to be used.
