BIRT PDF document encoding

Hi Guys -
 
 I am using Birt 2.6.0. I want to know the encoding type that is used to generate the PDF document? And, is there any way by which I can generate using UTF-8 encoding?
 
Many Thanks in Advance,
Naveen.

Take a look in your fontsConfig_pdf.xml in plugins/org.eclipse.birt.report.engine.fonts_version.

My guess would be to change the encoding from cp1252 to utf-8 in the <font-encoding> section for the font family you're using. If the font family you're using isn't there, you would probably need to add it.
