Did you try with iso8859-1?

--shmem

_($_=" "x(1<<5)."?\n".q·/)Oo.  G°\        /
                              /\_¯/(q    /

i just did, and not only did that setting mangle the PDF output, it didn't address the root problem ... :-\	[reply]

That might actually be a sign of progress. Is the PDF_findfont error still thrown? If it isnt, if it's different, there might be something wrong with your input files. Do you mind posting a condensed example showing the problem? It's far easier to help if there's something to see, and not being forced at stabbing blindfolded into the fog (guessing wildly, that is). --shmem _($_=" "x(1<<5)."?\n".q·/)Oo.

I've updated the original node with a trimmed-down xml template. Essentially, `<VAR NAME='LAST_NAME'>` is the problem; it contains the (misrendered) accented character. Changing the encoding to iso8859-1 does fix the PDF_findfont error, but it doesn't fix the problem with the accented characters.	[reply] [d/l]
