First of all, thanks for the swift response :).
I applied the identity encoding, which does not resolve my issue, but it
still improved the output ("unknown character" symbols are now written,
before there was nothing).
The font seems not to be installed on my system (which is strange, since I
read that it is included in MS Office, which I have installed). I checked
my installed fonts and found and tried "Lucida Sans Unicode", but to no
avail. I downloaded fonts for all languages and took one with assumed
support for my unicode characters, that one worked.
Unfortunately, this fonts take up much space and get embedded into the
result pdf, increasing the size by up to 10MB. Thats quite a large payload
for just a few characters of a disclaimer text :-/.Is there any way to
improve this behaviour (somehow "partially" embed a font)?
Greetings
F.E.
