If it works with \u00E8 then the problem is the conversion from your encoding to a Java String.

I've tried both a Phrase, Chunk and Paragraph as well as using PdfContentByte with the showText methods however when I open the PDF it just simply does not show the character. I've tried setting the encoding type in the BaseFont to CP1250-CP1257 and IDENTITY_H without success. I have been able to show the character using the \u00E8 unicode escape literal, however since i'm taking in dynamic text i'm not sure how to render extended characters. I know the data is intact because I can encode it using URLEncoder than write the encoded data to the PDF and it appears as the correct URL encoded string (i've also tried with BASE64 Encoding and it worked correctly as well). My understanding of Unicode is limited however I was under the impression that all Java strings are stored as unicode which means passing in the String into the PDF system should work naturally without any intervension. Am I doing something incorrect or is there another step I need to preform?
