Re: [iText-questions] fonts and encoding issue

[Shahzad Latif]

Hi:

Thanks, but problem on this scenario is it will take care of only the trademark symbol. The client can come up with any possible combination for unicode. I guess I'll change the encoding to winansi and try the equivalent code. Having said this, I beleive the problem might stay the same. The string is already there and contains '&#...' text part of it (just like unicode). Parsing might end up very expensive.

Regards,

Shahzad

parse the string and change the \u2122 into the unicode char.
