I tried using the Identity_H encoding before (having read somewhere that
this should always work), but I got an error doing that
ExceptionConverter: java.io.UnsupportedEncodingException: Identity-H
at java.lang.StringCoding.encode(StringCoding.java:269)
at java.lang.String.getBytes(String.java:947)
at
com.lowagie.text.pdf.PdfEncodings.convertToBytes(PdfEncodings.java:197)
at com.lowagie.text.pdf.Type1Font.<init>(Type1Font.java:278)
Anyway, I tried referring to the original .afm file instead of the
installed .pfm, and that seems to solve the issue somehow. So my problem
is/seems solved, now I would just like to understand why/how.
best regards,
Werner
