in thread PDF::Template and character encodings
As per your OP, do you really get "~Aj", or is it per chance æ
(which is a à á - a grave acute) ?
If that is the case, you are getting utf-8 from your database - run that data through Encode. Alternatively, try using iso10646-1 (or utf8 without the hyphen).
Using those fonts might fail since it seems likely that the strings coming from the database don't have the internal UTF8 flag set.
