> When using PDPageContentStream.drawString() characters such as é,ë,ï don't get printed or get replaced by another character. 
> I assume another encoding must be used?
> Where can the encoding be changed?
> The following code would sound logic to change the encoding but it doesn't seem to work;
> ..
> PDFont font = PDType1Font.TIMES_ROMAN 
> font.setEncoding(New encoding.MacRomanEncoding) 
> newStream.setFont(font, 8)
> ..
> newStream.drawString("é")
> ..
> An example would be greatly appreciated.
