[reportlab-users] Error using encoding="utf-8" to output RML to PDF

[Robert Sullivan]

Hello,

I'd like to use some entities such as ÷, × and ≈ in my
RML template that outputs to a PDF but I get an error:

rml2pdf.go(rml, outputFileName=buffer)
  File "rlextra-3.3.29/src/rlextra/rml2pdf/rml2pdf.py", line 6018, in go
pyRXPU.error: Declared encoding UTF-8 is incompatible with UTF-16 which was
used to read it

I've read in this previous message
https://pairlist2.pair.net/pipermail/reportlab-users/2017-March/011607.html
that PDF may not allow UTF-8 so I'm a bit stuck as to what to do.

Many thanks,

Robert
