Greek language / PDF

2003-09-26 07:45

Hi I'm having problems getting Greek characters to render properly in PDF - I've tried pdfEncoding ="Cp1253", but the characters appear all on top of each other.

 

Printing a report by any other means than PDF seems to work fine.

 

The only way I can get a correct PDF is to print to a PDF printer driver, from the JRViewer

 

Any ideas?

I found a solution in the problem with greeks in pdf files

 

add to your classpath or windows path the c:windowsfonts folder, or where you store the systems fonts.

 

in the fields in the report set the following

 

font : arial.ttf

pdfEmbedded : checked

pdfEncoding : Identity-H

 

it works just fine for me with the above setup.
