Hi,
I have been looking for ways to display/download one of my pages
(templates) as a PDF file and perhaps one of the easiest ways is by
using the pdf filter function from Template Toolkit.
[%- USE Latex(format='pdf') - %]
[%- FILTER latex -%]
bla bla english <good!>
some Japanese here <wrong !>
[%- END -%]
The problem is, although I have been successful in getting pdf files
which consists of only alphabet characters, it seems that I can't
get kanji (converted to UTF-8) characters displayed correctly.
I am not sure if the problem only lies within pdflatex (or latex)
command in my cygwin setup, which I have been trying to fix for a
whole day, but still doesn't work. Or if it also involves another
setting or module that I have to install for Template Toolkit.
I am wondering if anyone has been successful in doing it, or perhaps
knows a better way to do it ?
This should be obvious, but the PDF is not static since I want to
list some dynamic data, such as purchased goods by a certain
customer for example.

This will be a (pdf)latex issue.
You need to add this to the preamble of the document somehow:
\usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}
Then assuming that the typeface you are using has the kanji glyphs
that *should* be all you need.
