You need to embed a UTF8 TTF font, for example: # Add a DejaVu Unicode font (uses UTF-8) # Supports more than 200 languages. For a coverage status see: # http://dejavu.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/dejavu/trunk/dejavu-fonts/langcover.txt pdf.add_font('DejaVu', '', 'DejaVuSansCondensed.ttf', uni=True) (sorry, the previous message was sent incomplete) I'll try to enhance the docs about this, thank for reporting the issue Best regards Mariano Reingart http://www.sistemasagiles.com.ar http://reingart.blogspot.com -- --- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "web2py-users" group.
