Issue with Displaying Turkish names

The input from the API is
MEYTEKS TEKSTİL SANAYİ VE TİCARET ANONİM ŞİRKETİ
But on the PDF what we see is
MEYTEKS TEKST0L SANAY0 VE T0CARET ANON0M ^0RKET0
@amanjain-aj you should use a font that supports Turkish characters, like Roboto.
I'm using Robot and tried @amanjain-aj 's string and got the same error. I was coming to file a very similar bug.
I'm trying to display CO₂ and the subscript 2 is transformed to a , (space followed by a comma). This is happening due to the UTF-16 manipulation in
react-pdf/packages/pdfkit/src/object.js
Line 49 in ee5c96b
I'm not sure exactly what's wrong yet, but I see that the manipulation of the char code turns ₂ (U+2082 in UTF-16BE) becomes 0x20 0x82 which is interpreted directly in latin ASCII which gives ,.
I believe the same thing is happening.
@pcorpet I have only tested using Roboto inside the react-pdf repl: https://react-pdf.org/repl
I have changed the font registration to use Roboto:
Font.register({
family: 'Roboto',
src: 'https://fonts.gstatic.com/s/roboto/v48/KFOMCnqEu92Fr1ME7kSn66aGLdTylUAMQXC89YmC2DPNWub2bWmTggvWl0Qn.ttf'
});and changing the subtitle styles to:
subtitle: {
fontSize: 18,
margin: 12,
fontFamily: 'Roboto'
},Then tried using CO₂ inside the subtitle component and it rendered correctly. So I'm not sure what’s causing it in your case.

OK, thanks this is because I was pulling only Roboto latin, whereas the other char is in the math charset. Thanks a lot!
And I realize, there's no good way to register a different .ttf file for different unicode character ranges.
