I also asked that you show what arial fonts you have. For me, this would be
{code}
773.852 arial.ttf
750.216 arialbd.ttf
562.728 arialbi.ttf
557.004 ariali.ttf

180.740 ARIALNB.TTF
180.084 ARIALNBI.TTF

> Key: PDFBOX-2714
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PDFBOX-2714
> Project: PDFBox
> Issue Type: Bug
> Affects Versions: 2.0.0
> Environment: Win7 works, WinServer2012 doesn't
> Reporter: Daniel Brownell
>
> Asked on SO, Tilman suggests I open a JIRA: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/29111310/pdfbox-2-0-0-type1fonts-working-on-one-computer-not-another
> I am trying to work out why I'm getting a bunch of `java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: No glyph for U+0057 in font Helvetica-Bold` errors on a Windows 2012 Server dev environment, but not on my local Windows 7 environment.
> I built the trunk from scratch, with: `mvn -DskipTests=true install`
> on my machine (Win 7), collected the jars and made a very rudimentary test package, by dumping all the jars into a subfolder libs/ and copying the `org/apache/pdfbox/examples `class files to the same directory, to see if the HelloWorld program works.
> The [HelloWorld program][1] creates a file, called test.pdf with the message "WHY" as requested, but when I run it on a new machine, I get the following:
>
>
> C:\EAP-6.3.0\PDFBOXTESTING>java -cp ".;libs/*" org.apache.pdfbox.examples.pdmodel.HelloWorld test.pdf WHY
> Exception in thread "main" java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: No glyph for U+0057 in font Helvetica-Bold
> at org.apache.pdfbox.pdmodel.font.PDType1Font.encode(PDType1Font.java:303)
> at org.apache.pdfbox.pdmodel.font.PDFont.encode(PDFont.java:268)
> at org.apache.pdfbox.pdmodel.PDPageContentStream.showText(PDPageContentStream.java:316)
> at org.apache.pdfbox.examples.pdmodel.HelloWorld.main(HelloWorld.java:59)
> I installed Adobe Reader XI on that computer, in case it needed the fonts from Adobe, installed on the system, or who knows.
> It's not finding `U+0057`, which is a W, and in my testing, it wasn't finding a bunch of stuff. It basically didn't find anything. so something is fundamentally wrong, maybe the operating system has provided a bad font?
