## 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.
