Description:

It appears that special characters such as: Ț, Ș, Ă, are not working in the invoice template, they're always displayed as "?". Chinese, arabic and other characters are not working either.

Steps To Reproduce:

php artisan vendor:publish [11]. Add the characters in the invoice template. Preview an invoice.

How are are you adding these characters? Please share some code.

I've localized my app, since the receipt view does make use of the Laravel localization feature, I had to publish the view in order to edit it.

I've attached an example of a receipt view that displays "?" for special characters. I've replaced the "Receipt", "Description", "Date" and "Amount" text strings with the above mentioned characters.

You can get a few hints regarding your problem here: https://github.com/dompdf/dompdf/wiki/UnicodeHowTo

Maybe the font you are using do not support the characters you are using? Can you try it with the DejaVu font?

pricop commented 5 years ago

I didn't added any fonts whatsoever, I'm on a Windows 10 machine currently. The PDF was rendered using Times New Roman font, and this font has full support for the characters I've listed.

Seems like this is more of an issue with the dompdf library. Maybe try opening an issue there?
