Any advice on displaying Cyrillic characters? #249

Closed GoogleCodeExporter closed 9 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago 
I can't seem to get Cyrillic characters to display no matter what I try. I have 
DOMPDF_UNICODE_ENABLED set to true, I have ttf2pt1 installed in the 
lib/ttf2ufm/bin/ directory, I have TTF2AFM set to DOMPDF_LIB_DIR 
."/ttf2ufm/bin/ttf2pt1", I used load_font.php to convert a TrueType font that I 
know supports Cyrillic to a Unicode font (though the files generated had .afm 
extensions not .ufm), and of course I set the font-family to that font in the 
body. And still after all that effort, the characters display as question 
marks. Does anyone know of a font that they've been able to use for Cyrillic 
characters? I'm trying to figure out whether the issue is with the font itself 
or whether I somehow incorrectly converted it.

Your problem appears to be the version of ttf2pt1 on your system. The version 
included with DOMPDF is modified to support Unicode font metrics out of the 
box. Did you compile from scratch or use a copy already on your system? You 
would have to jump through some hoops to get the same out of the standard 
executable

The modified version creates font metrics in both .afm and .ufm format. The UFM 
format is required in order to render Unicode text correctly. Without it, 
DOMPDF will fall back to Windows ANSI encoding.

If you are unable to compile from source then you might try the web-based font 
prep tool:

I uploaded Unicode-friendly Arial font files that I got from another source and 
changed the font to Arial and it still didn't fix things.

It's not just the font that needs to be Unicode friendly. You also have to 
process your font using ttf2ufm to get the Unicode font metrics (*.ufm) that 
DOMPDF needs to process text that uses the font. Without the *.ufm files DOMPDF 
will fall back to Windows ANSI encoding.

I know that. That's what I meant: the files I uploaded are .ufm files.

Ok. Just wanted to clarify that you were uploading all the necessary files.

So to review the requirements for working enabling Unicode support.
1) make sure the MBString PHP extension is enabled
2) set DOMPDF_UNICODE_ENABLED to true
3) install a Unicode font (ttf + ufm)
4) ensure your HTML document includes a meta header indicating the content 
type, e.g. <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="charset=utf-8" />

You're ok on 2 & 3. What about 1 & 4?

Yes, all of those conditions are satisfied.

Can you post a sample of your HTML document and font files so we can try it out 
on our systems?

@pavel.frankov which version of dompdf? This seems to render fine on my copy of 
dompdf 0.6.0 beta 3 (the most recent). You might also check to see if you have 
any PHP errors.

The latest one: 0.6.0 beta 3. No PHP errors.
Works fine for latin letters, but even one cyrillic letter is breaks everything.
When I've remove <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="charset=utf-8" /> it 
works only for latin letters.

Are errors enabled? Seems you should get *some* kind of error if the characters 
are being stripped. Also, can you post your PDF?

Hm, I've changed my WAMP from XAMPP to latest OpenServer and now all is ok. 
Thank you!

Thanks for the update. I'll make a note of the issue. If we have a chance we'll 
investigate further. Which version of XAMPP were you using?

Original comment by eclecticgeek on 13 Jul 2012 at 5:15

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago 
XAMPP (Basispaket) version 1.7.4

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago 
I've fully reinstalled XAMPP and now all works fine. Thank you again!

Thanks for the update. Odd that a reinstall would have fixed the problem. Maybe 
a missing library. At any rate, glad you got it working again.
