Hesham commented on PDFBOX-938:
-------------------------------
@Andreas ... That is why i have sent you an application sample. The font used
in the JTextArea is Tahoma :
pdfTextArea.setFont(new Font("Tahoma", Font.PLAIN, 12));
And the encoding used to extract text :
PDFTextStripper stripper = new PDFTextStripper( "utf-8" );
Is there anything else that may cause such a problem ?
