PDFBox not supporting multiple languages

Here is the code that will be in release 2.0.14 in the examples subproject:

/**
 * Output a text without knowing which font is the right one. One use case is a worldwide
 * address list. Only LTR languages are supported, RTL (e.g. Hebrew, Arabic) are not 
 * supported so they would appear in the wrong direction.
 * Complex scripts (Thai, Arabic, some Indian languages) are also not supported, any output
 * will look weird. There is an (unfinished) effort here:
 * https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PDFBOX-4189
 *
