Maruan Sahyoun commented on PDFBOX-4262:
----------------------------------------
{{PDType1Font.HELVETICA_BOLD}} is a PDF standard font. Using that your mileage
will vary as the font itself supports only a limited set of characters. If you
need to use Eastern European or other characters you'd better use a different
font such as {{Arial}} which you can load using {{PDType0Font.load}} (*don't
use font subsetting* if you expect that the form data might be changed
interactively). So above sample will become
{code}
PDFont font = PDType0Font.load(doc, new File("Arial.ttf")); // you need to
specify the fun path of course
fonts.put(COSName.getPDFName("HeBo"), font);
{code}
The other option would be to replace the name used in the fields default
appearance string.
