Text width calculation

[Bharat Bhatt]

Hi,

I am using PDFBOX 2.0.4 api, and using  PDType1Font.HELVETICA font.
So when calculating text width using

        String text = "Tipo Identificación";
        PDFont pdFont = PDType1Font.HELVETICA;
        float width = (pdFont.getStringWidth(text) / 1000F)* 12f;

Getting error
Caused by: java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: U+FFFD ('.notdef') is not
available in this font Helvetica (generic: ArialMT) encoding:
WinAnsiEncoding

But same code work on Linux server.

How to resolve this and make system independent?

How to support other languages?


Thanks,
Bharat
