I'm having trouble getting non-alpha-numeric characters to show up in my
PDF. My application is picking up certain Web pages and outputting them to
PDF with iText. I've got a method (code below) that converts all the
numbered entity tags, like "—", to their ASCII equivalent. Debugging
shows that these get into the String object, but when they print out, they
show as blanks in the PDF. Am I missing something or can anybody shed some
light on what's up with this?
I'm outputting to Georgia TrueType font, but it seems like the em-dash,
en-dash and other similar ASCII characters should be in that font.

Code:
protected String replaceHtmlEntities(String cleanText) {
char[] ch = new char[1];
for (int x = 0; x <= 255; x++) {
ch[0] = (char) x;
String replace = new String(ch);
cleanText = cleanText.replaceAll("&#(" + x + ");", replace);
}
return cleanText;
}
