Hello Everyone, I know that it is not the first time this someone asks about this topic here, but as there was no real solution I thought I’ll ask again.
The problem is to print out special characters (with the drawString() method of PDPageContentStream) which do have an int value of >255 (not on ASCII table). A prominent example therefore is the €-sign. In my special case an experienced problem when printing the String “Section2ą”. The result with a standard PDType1Font (Helvetica) is “þÿ S e c t i o n 2ı_”. No surprise so far, since Helvetica is not TrueType (right?) and the “ą” char has an int value of 261. So I have tried to load any TrueType Font I could find with PDTrueTypeFont.loadTTF(). But besides my documents becoming really big (1MB->20MB), special character strings were not drawn correctly in any case. My question now, does anyone know a .ttf font where this approach works? Does the setFontEncoding() method of PDFont can in any way help with this issue? Thanks!
