Unicode Not Working

Open omarmallat opened this issue 8 years ago • 1 comments

This tool is not working properly in case of any Unicode character added. I downloaded the source code and tried quickly to update in order to support the Unicode, but I could not till now. I appreciate if you support other than ASCII encoding. regards.

Report.NET, by default, uses the standard AFM fonts that are expected to be supported by all PDF readers. These fonts do not not support high-order Unicode characters. There is, however, a function that you can use to assign / embed a true-type font for the PDF to use - in our experimentation this did work, but the text metric calculations were off - at least in our converted test case. I suggest you try this method and see if it works better for extended characters.
