Hey, you should load your fonts (whit or without umlauts) from font files like this: com.lowagie.text.pdf.BaseFont gfont = com.lowagie.text.pdf.BaseFont.createFont(file.getPath(), com.lowagie.text.pdf.BaseFont.CP1250, com.lowagie.text.pdf.BaseFont.EMBEDDED);

Where file is a pointer to the font file, like : /somedir/arial.ttf
And you should change the codepage to conform to your language.

Hope it helps...

Hello,

my application transforms text generated by a host application in pdf. The text file contains special characters for the euro sign and german umlauts for the printer. After reading a line I convert the special characters, this works well in Windows. But my application should run under Linux and there all this special characters are shown as '-' in the pdf-file.
String str2 = str.replace('\u00bf', '�');  didn't work
String str2 = str.replace('\u00bf', '\u00e4');  // ae didn't work also

Has anybody experience with umlauts?
