Hello everybody I recently started a java project where one of the tasks is to generate pdf files from some stored texts. As I'm from Switzerland, many texts contain umlauts like ä,ö or ü. When pdfbox parses my strings with e.g. contentStream.drawString(str); the result looks qite crappy if the string contains umlauts, all umlaut characters are replaced with squares and between everu normal character there is an additional space (string comes from document with 'normal' ascii coding). If I convert the source document/string to use UTF 8, the result looks even worse.
How can I tell pdfbox to print such umlauts correctly (it doesn't matter if I'd have to use embedded fonts or external ttfs, I'm just happy if it works somehow). Kind regards and thanks in advance for helpful answers Nicolas
