Hi, I'm currently facing the issue of the German character Umlaut-u (ü) disappearing while setting the value of an AcroFields TextField using the AcroFields#setField(name, value) method.
The value passed into that method is <für Rechnung "wen es angeht"/for account of whom it may concern>, but the text appearing in the generated PDF file is only <fr Rechnung "wen es angeht"/for account of whom it may concern>. So the second character (the ü) is missing. I debugged into the method's execution and it appears, that the ü goes missing right after getting the PdfAppearance object from the TextField object created to hold the text passed into the method. As this is not the only field set in that manner and the special characters including the ü appear correctly in all other places, the observed behaviour really puzzles me. Furthermore this behaviour is only observed on a linux (CentOS 5.5) machine. On my local Windows 7 machine all works fine. Has anyone got any idea what might be going on here?
