Tilman Hausherr commented on PDFBOX-2954:
-----------------------------------------

See also https://stackoverflow.com/questions/32351565/ , using

{code}
PDType0Font font = PDType0Font.load(document, new File("c:/windows/fonts/arialuni.ttf"));
{code}
didn't help either.

[~loonger] what encoding does your source code use? In what country did you buy or update the windows you're using now? Do you have access to a W7 system, and if yes, does the effect also happen there?

> ADVERTENCIA: Using fallback font ArialMT for base font ZapfDingbats
> Exception in thread "main" java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: This font type only supports 8-bit code points

> If I load {{arialuni.ttf}} font with Type0 it compiles but only get question marks instead of the correct characters in the PDF file.
> I have tried PDFBOX 1.8 and doesn´t work either.
