PdfBox encode symbol currency euro

Question

I created a PDF document with the Apache PDFBox library. My problem is to encode the euro currency symbol when drawing a string on the page, because the base font Helvetica

Answer 1

Maybe is too late, but I did it using:

String toPDF = String.valueOf(Character.toChars(e.getCode("Euro")));

Make sure you put uppercase "E", if you do "euro" throws an error. Please take a look of this link it help me a lot http://partners.adobe.com/public/developer/en/opentype/glyphlist.txt
