As the current version (0.1.5), it is able to put asian (zh-tw in my case) language characters in a text, with proper (not default) font file supplied. That is really good!

Unfortunately the texts cannot be correctly wrapped. So the paragraph will display in a single line and go right all the way outside the page boundary. If we five paragraphs, for example, then there will be five lines of text. No matter how many characters each paragraph have.

I think it is a little bit difficult to very correctly wrap Chinese texts. But I guess there might be some work around not too difficult.
