Problem with pdf creation

[ippiko]

I am working in greek translation of phpmyfaq. I have made the mojority of the job, i have a lang file named greek.php (iso 8859-7) but i have a serious problem with pdf creation: the .pdf files are not correctly encoded and the greek are not displayed correctly.

Any idea?

Hi,

Greek should be working inside the exported PDFs due to the fact that the used module, FPDF supports Greek. Could you send or post a Greek PDF file?

Hi,

okay, I've found a solution. You have to create a font file with Greek support, like described on this page: http://www.fpdf.org/en/tutorial/tuto7.htm

Hi Thorsten,

i reopen this post after 10 years because the problem with export pdf in greek language still exist. You told above to make a greek font file. How i will use it?

Hi,

this answer from 2004 is obsolete as we now use TCPDF. Please paste some greek text here and I'll debug the issue.

Thanks Thorsten for the solution. As you can see things are much better now.



The only problem is that there is always a space after letters with accents. (more information about what accent is you can find here http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Greek_diacritics)

If you can find a solution for this malfunction i will be grateful.

Thanks again.

Hi,

well, it's hard, I'm just using a diferent font for Greek. I can test other fonts as well, but they have to support Greek as well and sadly there aren't many free fonts for Greek.
