Creating pdf including thai language with dompdf
Hi guys,
I am currently working on producing reports dynamically generated. I found very useful to use html cause it enables to design my reports or to ask someone to design it in commonly used language.
We have developed with dompdf and it is working pretty wellfor english and european languages. We are now moving to Asian languages and the pdf rendering retunrs us ???? when usingthai or Chinese text.
I know tis was already debated but the answer was to use an other pdf tool than dompdf where I can not change it.
Does anyone knows how to use asian language with dompdf? that would really really help me.
Thx

Hi Roonaan, and thx
Yes I guess unicode is requiered to render asian language, our database is actually encoded in utf8 to be able to store those character. ( I guess it is the same)
When displayed on the web paged everything is perfect but then when processing by dompdf they are replaced by ???
Is that a problem of font?
Would simply adding the font solve the problem?
I really do not know anything about font and Asian language and pdf... ;-(

Maybe on of the threads @ sourcdeforge might help:
