Fpdf and special characters

Question

I am trying to write out some special characters with built in fonts, is there any way to do this?

$str = 'ščťžýáíéäúň§ôúőűáéóüöűú'; $str = iconv('UTF-8', 'windows-1252', $str);

the result is one letter Š, not too good. :)

You'll need to use tFPDF derivate of FPDF. tFPDF uses the PHP multi-byte string functions and generates its output encoded with UTF-8. FPDF does not. You'll also need to use a font that supports all the Unicode characters you want to use. Most commonly, I'll use Arial.
