inspecting the PdfStamper class, I am noticing all code relies in the
OutputStream class, which does not consider characters encoding while
flushing its contents:
while ((n = file.read(buf)) > 0)
this.os.write(buf, 0, n); <-- output stream is just
byte printer :(
if we can use Writers instead, we gain full control over what kind of
encoding is being used to writes the characters:
writer = OutputStreamWriter(this.os, new Charset("UTF-8",
new String("utf-8"));
while ((n = file.read(buf)) > 0)
writer.write(buf, 0, n); <-- now we can handle the
correct encoding :)
@see: http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4.2/docs/api/java/io/OutputStreamWriter.html
just a guess....
