I can see the right characters in the html page, but not in the PDF page...

there can be many things that effect this.
first is if they pdf is creating the correct code-set for the character.
Second is if the Language is selected for the OS.
third is if the fonts sets that support that language are loaded.

Hi all,
I know this is not probably an OFBiz related issue but I know that we
have several Chinese users and maybe this can be of interest for others...
I'm having issues displaying Chinese characters in the OFBiz PDF reports
(invoice, order etc...) created with xsl-fo: they appear as '####'.
I did some research in the Internet and the problem seems related to the
font family used that doesn't include the Chinese fonts.
I have tried to set a different font-family in the template's fo:root
element, but unfortunately I couldn't find a font family that supports
the Chinese characters (e.g. I've tried with Arial in an Ubuntu box).
I've also found some instructions on how to generate an ad-hoc xml file
with the necessary font family description, to be embedded in the pdf
reports by FOP... but the steps were not very clear to me (especially,
how to map them to the OFBiz framework).
Any hints on how I can solve this issue?
Thanks!
Jacopo
