             Summary: Can't show text (glyph) from ZapfDingbats font
                 Key: PDFBOX-3298
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PDFBOX-3298
             Project: PDFBox
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: FontBox
    Affects Versions: 2.0.0
         Environment: Linux (kernel "3.19.0-32 generic"), Java "build 1.8.0_66-b17".
            Reporter: Friediwn Fleischmn


I am unable to add glyphs from the standard *ZapfDingbats* font to a PDF document. The issue seems to be that the encoding for the font (*WinAnsiEncoding*) does not have mappings for the "non-ASCII (???)" PDF names used in the font ("aXX"). (However, the {{PDSimpleFont.glyphList}} *does* contain mappings between Unicode codepoints and PDF names.)

Sample code:
{code}
PDDocument document = PDDocument.load(new File("myfile.pdf"));
PDPage page = document.getPages().get(0); // first page
PDPageContentStream contentStream = new PDPageContentStream(document, page, AppendMode.APPEND, true);

PDType1Font font = PDType1Font.ZAPF_DINGBATS;
String glyph = "\u2714";

contentStream.beginText();
contentStream.setFont(font, fontSize);
contentStream.newLineAtOffset(10, 10); // towards lower left corner of page
contentStream.showText(glyph);
contentStream.endText();
contentStream.close();

document.save("output.pdf");
document.close();
{code}

Exception thrown:
{code}
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: U+2714 ('a20') is not available in this font's encoding: WinAnsiEncoding
