I'm having successful html-to-pdf conversions, but not with special characters.
Below is just a special character I'm trying to display, which displays in browsers on my Mac, when I put it simply inside an html document. (but not on my windows box)
<?php
require_once("../dompdf_config.inc.php");
$html = '€';
$dompdf = new DOMPDF(); $html = iconv('UTF-8','Windows-1250',$html);
$dompdf->load_html($html);
$dompdf->render();
$dompdf->stream("contract.pdf");
exit(0);
?>
I keep getting a "?" (question mark) when the pdf is rendered. I know there's been lots of issues documented with regards to special characters, but I thought I'd give this a try, with the code I'm actually using.
If DomPdf isn't a recommended html-to-pdf conversion tool, I'll take any other recommendations!

I have experienced problems with DOMPDF when converting an UTF-8 html page. I simply solved the problem by adding
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8" />
Between < head > tag. Maybe it could be an alternative if you set it with your encoding type.
IMPORTANT NOTE from comments below: don't use stream() and output() methods on the same pdf instance. If you do this wont work.

after trying all solutions on the net. I could solve without modifying the dompdf. the problem was on the html content. I just had to add the correct and appropriate HTML structure and setting the font of course . Tested on v0.6.0 and v0.6.1. here I leave the code
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/loose.dtd">
<html>
<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="charset=utf-8" />
<style type="text/css">
* {
font-family: "DejaVu Sans Mono", monospace;
}
</style>
</head>
<body>your content ćčžšđ...</body>
</html>
