Hi there, I've been using Iconv with Ruby (OnRails) quite successfully for some time. We keep text as UTF-8 in our mysql database, and then convert it using Iconv to ISO-8859-1 when rendering PDF files in English, Danish, French or Dutch. Conversions work well, and RPDF outputs the converted text nicely. However, we now want to output PDFs in ISO-8859-2. For some reason the output is garbled, see here: http://www.tobinharris.com/media/mtq38.jpg I just don't get it, can anyone see what might be happening? Is there a known issue with converting UTF-8 to 8859-2? Many thanks Tobin
