Hi I'm looking at using PoDoFo to generate PDFs for OCR results in gImageReader. So far things are working pretty well, except for occasional encoding troubles. I.e. one char giving me headaches is fi (aka U+FB01).
If I don't specify and PdfEncoding in document.CreateFont, that character will not get printed. I noticed that if I use IdentityEncoding instead, the character is printed correctly, but the char spacing is wrong (i.e. spacing is about 150% the "normal" spacing). A small test application which demostrates this is appended below. So my question is: How should I setup the font and encoding for correct results? I'll always be passing UTF-8 strings and it should also work for non-latin alphabets. I'm using PoDoFo 0.9.4 on Fedora. Many thanks for any pointers.
