UTF-8 support missing in PD4ML v4.0.17

#37107

Hi, I have this code:

    public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception {
        PD4ML pd4ml = new PD4ML();
        pd4ml.applyLicense("license......");
        pd4ml.setHtmlWidth(300);
        pd4ml.useTTF("src/main/resources/fonts");

        String html = Files.readString(Paths.get("src/main/resources/sblend.html"));
        ByteArrayInputStream bais = new ByteArrayInputStream(html.getBytes("UTF-8"));
        pd4ml.readHTML(bais, null, "utf-8");

        File pdf = File.createTempFile("result", ".pdf");
        FileOutputStream fos = new FileOutputStream(pdf);
        pd4ml.writePDF(fos);

        Desktop.getDesktop().open(pdf);
    }

This code refers to this HTML file:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
    <meta charset="UTF-8">
    <title>Title</title>
</head>
<body>

If you open it through a browser, you see (see attachment 1: browser.png).

If you open it through PD4ML, you see (see attachment 2: pd4ml.pdf)

So: the characters which are cyrillic or chinese are all rendered as question marks (“?”).

How can we solve the problem?

The attached PDF is a typical result of PDF conversion, when no TTF embedding feature configured.

Did you have a chance to take a look at
