Description

From the users mailing list when trying to set a field value to the Euro sign the following exception occurs

Exception in thread "main" java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: No glyph for U+20AC in font Arial

A small test loading the extracted font ArialMT directly with

    PDTrueTypeFont font2 = PDTrueTypeFont.loadTTF(document, new File("ArialMT.ttf"));
    font2.encode("€");

gives the same error whereas using

    PDType0Font font = PDType0Font.load(document, new File("ArialMT.ttf"));
    font.encode("€");

the error doesn't happen.
