It could be the viewer. I'm using Foxit.
Is there a solution for "unicode"?
Example: "Styczeń" (Polish) is displayed as "SryczeD".
Kind regards,

This is usually related to the font you are using. For coding I use a free font which happens to also have the character you need.
For my example, first download "Fira code" font from github : https://github.com/tonsky/FiraCode
( if you have a font that contains the character you need, use that font, but you have to make sure pbPDF finds it like I am doing with the example with Fira Code or it will use the default font and you'll see a "D")
I hope this helps.

Normeus,
Thank you for the code but then I have another question; how to remove the square in front of the text.
Kind regards,

Make sure you have the latest pbPDF-Module.

[edit: figured out that to add images the URL has to end in an actual png or jpg file. It can not be an econded name like "Tq6cC"]
here's a link to an img with the results I don't get a square, with the sample code I posted:

Infratec has some code, using PDFium.dll that might do what you need here:

PB ide v6.03 has a new check for invalid Chr() numbers. You get a compile error, @idle placed a request to change the error to a warning on October 16, 20023. viewtopic.php?p=609396#p609396
If you compile pbPDF-Module and you get an error Chr() out of range, alternative is to compile from the command line. If you are using English for the pdfs you create with pbPDF-Module then you can do the following change to be able to compile from IDE:
It might work for other languages, but I only tried it using English.
Here is a link to @idle's UTF16 module:(it's a nice read, for people using different languages of the world in their programs)

Thorsten1867 thank you for a great library. I am interested in the use of Polish letters. The example provided by normeus works very well. For several days I tried to use other fonts, Windows system fonts and the Lato font. However, this did not produce the expected result. Maybe my dear colleagues will tell how to use Windows system fonts for polish letters and why the example below, based on normeus example, with Lato fonts does not work. Lato fonts can be downloaded here:
https://www.latofonts.com/lato-free-fonts/

If PDF::Create(#PDF)
; Always add a page to create a PDF or you'll get an error
; Page size and orientation is optional, I like to add it because you can have multiple page sizes in a PDF
PDF::AddPage(#PDF,PDF::#Landscape,PDF::#format_letter)
; specialty unicode font, which contains the character you need
PDF::EMbedFont(#PDF, "C:\WINDOWS\Fonts\Lato-Light.ttF","Lato","",PDF::#Unicode)
PDF::SetFont(#PDF, "lato", "", 14)
PDF::PlaceText(#PDF, "This is font Lato for Styczeń or other polish letters: ŻŹĆŃŁÓĄŚĘĘ żźćńłóśąę", 10, 50)
PDF::Close(#PDF, File$)

Sorry that was part of the code I added. It should give you an error with font file not found. That's the problem, the file is not there. I'll have time to look at the code later today, I hope, meantime try this:
Notice that I used Lato black because Lato-Light does not show the special characters, you can also just unzip the fonts to a folder and call them for that folder.
