> When I create a PDF with PDFBOX 2.0.0 SNAPSHOT using the typical Hello World example with Spanish and French characters:
> {code}
>     PDDocument document = new PDDocument();
>     PDPage page = new PDPage(PDRectangle.A4);
>     document.addPage(page);
>     PDType1Font font = PDType1Font.HELVETICA;
>     PDPageContentStream stream = new PDPageContentStream(document, page);
>     String text = "áÁÀà";
>     stream.beginText();
>     stream.setFont(font, 12);
>     stream.newLineAtOffset(100, 700);
>     stream.showText(text);
>     stream.endText();
>     stream.close();
>     document.save("sample.pdf");
>     document.close();
> {code}
> I get this error:
> {code}
> sep 02, 2015 12:42:43 PM org.apache.pdfbox.pdmodel.font.PDType1Font <init>
> 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
> {code}
> 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.
