----------------------------------------

Hi
thank you for your reply.

Here is another way to get the exception without using getStringWidth(). I just 
need to be able to print some symbols on the pdf using this font 
PDType1Font.ZAPF_DINGBATS
would you please provide a very small example on how to, for example, print the 
"Black florette   U+273F" ?

PDPageContentStream contStream = null;
try{
        contStream = new PDPageContentStream(pdDoc, page, 
PDPageContentStream.AppendMode.APPEND, true);
        contStream.saveGraphicsState();
        PDFont pdFont = PDType1Font.ZAPF_DINGBATS;
        contStream.setFont(pdFont,50);
        contStream.beginText();
        contStream.showText("ABCDEF");
        contStream.endText();
        contStream.restoreGraphicsState();
}finally{
        if (null != contStream)
                contStream.close();
}       

Thanks
Said
