PD4ML NOT SUPPORTING THAI AND OTHER Indian languages

#27087

Hi,

I give
ನೀವು ಹೇಗಿದ್ದೀರಿ == kannada language which is Tunga font

and telugu, tamil and thai language and along with hebrew sometimes.

it gives output with special characters.

for example :: for kannada “ನೀವು ಹೇಗಿದ್ದೀರಿ”
it generates, “ನೀವೕ ಹೇಗಿದೕದೀರಿ”
I have used,
pd4ml.useTTF(fontMappingFile, true);

fontmapping.properties is path to the pd4Fonts.properties which contains all these fonts and also in system the fonts are present.

Please help.

Thanks in advance.

Thank you

> it generates, “ನೀವೕ ಹೇಗಿದೕದೀರಿ”

Usually that type of visual garbage is caused by an attempt to render UTF-8 document (2 bytes per CJK glyph) with a wrongly applied (default?) single byte encoding i.e. ISO 8859-1.

Try to explicitly define UTF-8 in the document or pass the default encoding via JVM command-line params -Dfile.encoding=UTF-8

#29896

Hi ,
We are facing the same issuue of special characters when text is in hebrew/Arabic/chinese in pdf where as in browser these text is shown correctly.

We are currently on pd4ml 3.7 where we do not see this issue and we wanted to upgrade to 3.10 where we see this issue and this issue is blocking our upgrade.

We tried with the solution suggested in this thread as shown below, but it does not seems to work.

pd4ml.render(new StringReader(htmlStr), outputStream, new URL(baseURL),”UTF-8″)

@PD4ML Team: Could you please help.its very important to fix this issue.

Thanks in advance.

#29897

Try to switch debug on (pd4ml.enableDebugInfo()) and compare debug output for v3.7 and v3.10. It should list TTF fonts it loads. I assume you evaluate Pro version of PD4ML v3.10 as PD4ML Std is not capable to use TTFs and to render international scripts.

#29898

Thanks for the quick response.

Yes you are right we are evaluating pro version of pd4ml v3.10.
Is there a change from v3.7 to v3.10.6,how do we solve this issue?

Logs while generating pdf in both the version.
hope this helps :
