Hi @RBN1993 ,

Thank you for opening this issue.

This is a known limitation of the PDF standard, nothing I can do about it in CombinePDF - PDFs only support ASCI text, as mentioned in the documentation.

The best approach to using UTF-8 / latin fonts, is to import a font from an existing PDF using the PDF#fonts method.

There's a discussion about it in this issue.

Good luck. Bo.

P.S.

If you feel that the documentation wasn't clear about this or that the information wasn't repeated enough in the right places, please submit a PR.

Thanks! B.
