             Summary: Encoding issue in PDTrueTypeFont for Euro symbol
                 Key: PDFBOX-2774
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PDFBOX-2774
             Project: PDFBox
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: PDModel
    Affects Versions: 2.0.0
            Reporter: Maruan Sahyoun


>From the users mailing list when trying to set a field value to the Euro sign the following exception occurs

{code}
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: No glyph for U+20AC in font Arial
	at org.apache.pdfbox.pdmodel.font.PDTrueTypeFont.encode(PDTrueTypeFont.java:267)

{code}

A small test loading the extracted font {{ArialMT}} directly with
{code}
    PDTrueTypeFont font2 = PDTrueTypeFont.loadTTF(document, new File("ArialMT.ttf"));
    font2.encode("€");
{code}
 gives the same error whereas using

{code}
    PDType0Font font = PDType0Font.load(document, new File("ArialMT.ttf"));
    font.encode("€");
{code}
the error doesn't happen.
