Thanks, Damien, that's the point, I think, maybe it's not worth implementing in iText. Several users of iText use several encodings, and there will be a lot of changes with these encodings.
I did not know, that there exists such a SplitCharacter-class. Good to know it. ;-) Have fun! -André > -----Ursprüngliche Nachricht----- > Von: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Im > Auftrag von Damien Drix > Gesendet: Montag, 21.
