             Summary: Error trying to show Spanish or French characters with 
PDFBOX
                 Key: PDFBOX-2954
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PDFBOX-2954
             Project: PDFBox
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: FontBox, Writing
    Affects Versions: 2.0.0
         Environment: Windows 10, Java 8
            Reporter: Ivan de la Fuente


When I create a PDF with PDFBOX 2.0.0 SNAPSHOT using the typical Hello World 
example with Spanish and French characters:

    PDDocument document = new PDDocument();
    PDPage page = new PDPage(PDRectangle.A4);
    document.addPage(page);
    PDType1Font font = PDType1Font.HELVETICA;

    PDPageContentStream stream = new                        
PDPageContentStream(document, page);
    String text = "áÁÀà";
    stream.beginText();
    stream.setFont(font, 12);
    stream.newLineAtOffset(100, 700);
    stream.showText(text);
    stream.endText();
    stream.close();
    document.save("sample.pdf");
    document.close();

I get this error:

sep 02, 2015 12:42:43 PM org.apache.pdfbox.pdmodel.font.PDType1Font <init>
ADVERTENCIA: Using fallback font ArialMT for base font ZapfDingbats
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: This font type 
only supports 8-bit code points

If I load arialuni.ttf font with Type0 it compiles but only get question marks 
intead the correct characters in the PDF file.

I have tried PDFBOX 1.8 and doesn´t work either.
