---------------------------------------
Fix Version/s: 2.0.0
> Handle non ISO-8859-1 chars with drawString
> -------------------------------------------
>
> Key: PDFBOX-1242
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PDFBOX-1242
> Project: PDFBox
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: Writing
> Affects Versions: 1.5.0, 1.6.0
> Reporter: Peter Andersen
> Fix For: 2.0.0
>
>
> The PDPageContentStream.drawString take a String as argument, it construct a
> COSString of the input.
> If the input contain chars above 255, the COSString is prefixed 0xFe, 0xff
> and the bytes are taken from the
> input as "UTF-16BE" encoded.
> Back in the drawString method this unicode16 encoded COSString is appended as
> a "ISO-8859-1"
> appendRawCommands( new String( buffer.toByteArray(), "ISO-8859-1"));
>
> The result of this is that a line with UTF-16 chars is shown prefix with þÿ,
> and with double space between the other chars.
> The chars above 255 are shown as the two corresponding ISO-8859-1 characters.
> As a side question to this observation, is there an alternative way to use
> Pdfbox, to support UTF16?
