Arabic letters in PDF reports

2004-03-27 10:00

Hi

 

I have problem displaying Arabic text in PDF reports, use IReport0.2.3, I tried the following settings:

1 -

Report font: empty

Font name: Arial

 

PDF Font name: External TTF font...

 

True Type font: Arial (arial.ttf)

 

PDF Embedded: true

 

PDF Encoding: Identity-H (Unicode with horizontal writing)

 

The result is:

Displayed Arabic letters , but:

1. Disconnected (separate letters).

2. From left to right. (Arabic is from Right to left)

 

 

2-

Report font: empty

Font name: Arial Unicode MS

 

PDF Font name: External TTF font...

 

True Type font: Arial Unicode MS (ARIALUNI.TTF)

 

PDF Embedded: true

 

PDF Encoding: Identity-H (Unicode with horizontal writing)

The result is the same:

Displayed Arabic letters, but:

1- Disconnected (separate letters).

2- From left to right. (Arabic is from Right to left)

 

? Some times the same settings generate empty report with no text at all?!

 

I have no problem in HTML reports. I use WinXP professional has Arabic support.
