Handling special (turkish) characters when writing PDF using Zend drawtext

I am using drawText of Zend PDF to write to PDF files. I am not able to write certain characters despite using encoding.

$page->drawText('González '.' '.' Memişoğlu', 192, 600, $encoding);

I've tried several different types of encoding but none prints 'Memişoğlu' properly. 'González' works fine with UTF-8.

These are the results (what is printed in the PDF) for each encoding type I've tried

Windows-1254 - MemiÅŸoÄŸlu

Windows-1250 - MemioÄlu

Windows-1252 - MemiÅŸoÄŸlu

UTF-8 - Memiolu

What kind of encoding should I use, or is there another step to print the characters properly in the PDF?

Thanks.

EDIT: My pdf is written using Helvetica, so it possible that these characters are not available in the font.
