Hi Paulo, thanks for your reply.
> Does that font work outside PdfGraphics2D with a plain BaseFont? What do you mean by that? Should I create a PDF by hand using that font? I haven't tried that. The other glyphs are printed correctly and seem to be of the right font. Only the umlauts are not being handled. I even looked at the font definition stream in the generated PDF and as far as I understand it the widths are correctly calculated and inserted and the used characters are valid. The attached document shows the phenomenon. This is the font object from the incorrect PDF: 1 0 obj<</LastChar 252/BaseFont/MUSGQI+LucidaGrande/Type/Font/Encoding/WinAnsiEncoding/Su btype/TrueType/FontDescriptor 6 0 R/Widths[316 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 316 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 749 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 512 0 557 0 0 0 0 0 584 0 0 0 0 0 0 409 509 374 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 632 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 794 0 0 0 0 0 331 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 614]/FirstChar 32>> Printing with the same font definition to a real Graphics2D object prints out everything correctly. I am really out of ideas how to address this on my side. If you need any more information, just let me know and I will try to provide as much as can. Best, Christoph Wagner
