@twoSGmbH welcome to github!

Most common issue is that the font you are using does not support the characters.
In version 0.12 we have included a font which has more support for UTF-8 - Its FreeSerif.

Also you can try other (TTF) fonts

Example for version 0.12:

error_reporting(E_ALL);
set_time_limit(1800);
set_include_path('../src/' . PATH_SEPARATOR . get_include_path());

include 'Cezpdf.php';

$pdf = new Cezpdf('a4','portrait');
$pdf->ezSetMargins(20,20,20,20);

// important to enable UTF-8 encoding
$pdf->isUnicode = true;

$mainFont = 'FreeSerif';
// select a font and use font subsetting
$pdf->selectFont($mainFont, '', 1, true);
$pdf->ezText("\nPolish:");
$pdf->ezText("ąćęłńóśźż");

// The below is using Arial.TTF (keep in mind Arial is licensed by Microsoft)
$pdf->selectFont('../src/fonts/arial');
$pdf->ezText("\nPolish:");
$pdf->ezText("ąćęłńóśźż");

if (isset($_GET['d']) && $_GET['d']){
  echo $pdf->ezOutput(TRUE);
} else {
  $pdf->ezStream();
}
