What languages / character sets does PDFTextStream support?

Starting in v2.0, PDFTextStream provides full Unicode support for nearly every language on Earth. This includes Chinese, Japanese, and Korean, in both horizontal and vertical text orientations -- generally the most difficult languages to properly support.

The only notable languages that are not yet supported are those where text runs from right to left -- this includes Arabic and Hebrew. We are working to include support for such languages in a future PDFTextStream release.
