Prawn::Errors::IncompatibleStringEncoding: Your document includes text that's not compatible with the Windows-1252 character set. If you need full UTF-8 support, use external fonts instead of PDF's built-in fonts. #21

Hey there,

I have a customer that signed up a Twitter app of mine, paid for it with the pay gem, and when I try to send them a receipt I get this error.

Prawn::Errors::IncompatibleStringEncoding: Your document includes text that's not compatible with the Windows-1252 character set. If you need full UTF-8 support, use external fonts instead of PDF's built-in fonts.

I'm pretty sure it's because I pull their username from twitter (as their "name"), and their username has random characters used for stylistic purposes.

Is there a good way to override this behavior somehow?

Thanks

Sorry, I don't think this was the right place for this issue.
