I am using following to draw text on PDF in iOS: CGContextSelectFont (pdfContext, Helvetica

  • 0

I am using following to draw text on PDF in iOS:

CGContextSelectFont (pdfContext, "Helvetica Bold", 14, kCGEncodingMacRoman);
NSString *str1 = [NSString stringWithString:@"€ 10"];  
CGContextShowTextAtPoint(pdfContext, 25, y-60 , [str1 cStringUsingEncoding:NSMacOSRomanStringEncoding], [str1 length]); 

The euro sign is displayed as square.

Do you have some suggestions?

    In most cases it is easier to use NSString Methods - (CGSize)drawAtPoint:(CGPoint)point withFont:(UIFont *)font or - (CGSize)drawInRect:(CGRect)rect withFont:(UIFont *)font rather than the CoreGraphic equivalents. Apple takes care about thinks like correct transformation, encoding etc. for you.
