[iText-questions] Umlaute in iText PDF Document

[Ulf von Ceumern]

Hi.

I dont know whether my previous mail got through, so heres it again:

How do i make Umlaute and other special Character show up in a PDF Document?

Here is my Code:

BaseFont bf = BaseFont.createFont(FontFactory.TIMES_ROMAN, 
BaseFont.CP1250, BaseFont.NOT_EMBEDDED);
PdfContenByte cb = docWriter.getDirectContent();
cb.beginText();
cb.setFontAndSize(bf, 12);
cb.showText("- ���� +");
cb.endText("");

Unfortunately everything between "-" and "-":
1) does not show up at all, or
2) shows up as question marks ("?")
depending on the encoding BaseFont.CP1252 or BaseFont.CP1250
which is rather frustrating.

what am i doing wrong?

regards, ulf
