You're awesome, thanks!

Ciao, ho un problema con fpdf. l'ho sempre usato ed andava bene con l'inglese, ma quest'anno mi trovo a dover fare documenti in francese ed in inglese,in doppia lingua e tutti i caratteri francesi vengono alterati. Ho provato da solo a inserire il codice di http://stackoverflow.com/questions/3514076/special-characters-in-fpdf-with-php
a cui anche tu ti richiami
ma non sono riuscito a farlo funzionare. Puoi aiutarmi?

I faced issue with €™ any idea how to fix ?

I faced issue with €™ any idea how to fix ?

worked with this iconv("UTF-8", "CP1250//TRANSLIT",$title)

You can find the character enconding in this webpage.
€ will translate to %80, for example.
