PDF::API2 / unicode charactersby PerlSci (Initiate) |

PerlSci has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question: Hi, I'm trying to print utf-8 characters (greek letters primarily) using PDF::API2's core fonts, and I'm having no luck (which seems strange, because the .pm's for Verdana and Georgia seem to have the characters I need listed...). Here are the primary things I'm having trouble figuring out: -Are utf-8 characters actually supported by the core fonts, or do I need to import additional fonts to get an extended character set? -Where can I get additional fonts to import for use, if I need them (or, how are they built/configured, if I can't get them off the shelf/ where the heck do I find doc on this??) -Is there any documentation on using utf-8 with PDF::API2, or any good documentation on PDF::API2 in general, anywhere out there? (Or, alternatively... is there a better PDF printing package you'd recommend? I've already done a lot of work with PDF::API2, but if there's truly something better...) Thank you in advance for the help! Andrea
