library is not supporting utf-8/other encodings.

[Pionell]

Hello, I'm struggling here.

I've tried loading custom font families like Roboto from google fonts, thinking it might be a Windows ANSI included fonts issue, but that didn't seem to have fixed my problem. I've tried multiple encodings, like: UTF-8, ISO-8859-10,ISO-8859-4,iso-8859-13,iso-8859-15 with such a setup:

$html2pdf = new Html2Pdf('P', 'A4', 'en',true,"UTF-8");

My content is simple for testing purposes. But it seems that the library is not accepting these characters: ąčęėįųū only š and ž

$html2pdf->writeHTML("<page>ąčęėįšųūž</page>");

Confirm. Fonts defaults to Helevica, just "ž" is visible. from the string "Aš čia nežinau ką įrašyti kad būtų"

Html2PDF comes s a part of ResourceSpace installation, the PDF is created in UTF-8 encoding with

` $html2pdf = new Html2Pdf($pdf_properties['orientation'], $pdf_properties['format'], $pdf_properties['language'], true, 'UTF-8', $pdf_properties['margins']);

$html2pdf->pdf->SetTitle($pdf_properties['title']); $html2pdf->pdf->SetAuthor($pdf_properties['author']); $html2pdf->pdf->SetSubject($pdf_properties['subject']); $html2pdf->setDefaultFont($pdf_properties['font']); `

UPDATE: As for me, it seems like default PDF font is not set to <page header> and <page footer> environments and thus defaults to ANSI-encoded Helvetica. I've created a PDF file, opened it in the Inkscape and my default PDF font, "DejaVu Sans" is used only outside these tags.

UPDATE II: examples/utf8.php will produce wrong PDF with this content:

<page>
<page_header>
ąčęįęėėūšž
ĄČĘĮĖĖŪŽŠ
</page_header>

яшертюиоп[]
асдфгхйкл;ь\
зжцвбнм,./

</page>

It will produce the correct PDF once <page_header> is removed. The same is true for <page_footer>

UPDATE III: For some reasons lines $this->parsingCss->initStyle(); are breaking the fonts in Html2Pdf.php, functions _tag_open_PAGE_HEADER_SUB() and _tag_open_PAGE_FOOTER_SUB(). When these lines removed, the code seems to parse in the ordinary way, the headers and the footers appears in all their glory.

We stumbled upon the same issue today.

What you can do is to explicitly define the font using style attribute and it works as expected :)
