Denis,

Could you publish a snippet of code that generates a PDF document with a text that contains russians letters ? We need to test.

For russian letters, I think That You need a consistent font and the proper encoding. Normally, the Helvetica / Arial should be ok. For the encoding, the standard fonts use ISO-8859-1 or windows-1252. If you use UTF8, You Could try to convert your text to this encoding before insert it in the PDF document.

I tried this: text := (UTF8TextConverter new convertToSystemString: 'Привет'). PDFDocument new add: (PDFPage new add: (PDFTextElement new font: (PDFHelveticaFont new fontSize: 32pt); text: text; from: 10mm@10mm)); exportTo: aStream But no success: 'ПрР̧Ð2ÐμÑ‚' inside.
