PDFBox and Accent
How could I do to have accents with « drawString » of PDPageContentStream.
« è » is replaced by « Ł » for example.

With a windows true type font it works but is there another way to include fonts.
PDFont font = PDTrueTypeFont.loadTTF(pdDocument, new File("C:\\Windows\\Fonts\\CALIBRI.TTF"));

So, you've tried one of the fonts, which is bundled with pdfbox? These
are not suitable for special characters like german umlauts. Perhaps
french accents aren't supported too. Try to use a font from your
environment, e.g. a windows TrueType-font, which is known to support
those special characters.

What font are you using? Is it capable of displaying the accents?
