When I do this, it prints this exception:
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: U+8364 is not

which looks wrong, because as you can see in the the first text field in the
sample PDF, it is possible to use the Euro sign, it is part of the Arial font.
And I can open Word, set Arial as the font, then type Alt-8364 and the Euro
sign appears, so looks like it is part of the font's Encoding.
This bug is a show stopper for my application, because the Euro sign is
required for a business application.
