I am trying to render an HTML document with Chinese characters into a PDF and it either inserts ??? for the missing characters or it totally ignores them.
In my logs I see this:
Code:
ENCODING=UTF8
version: PD4ML 351 Pro
not yet in cache: file:C:\DEV\workspaceECLIPSE\portal\web-colo\target\work\webapp\WEB-INF\classes\com\xxxx\xxxx\portal\render\document/pd4fonts.properties
not yet in cache: file:C:\DEV\workspaceECLIPSE\portal\web-colo\target\work\webapp\WEB-INF\classes\com\xxxx\xxx\portal\render\document/xxxx-propu.ttf
read 'xxxx proportional unicode' from file:C:\DEV\workspaceECLIPSE\portal\web-colo\target\work\webapp\WEB-INF\classes\com\xxxx\xxxx\portal\render\document/xxxx-propu.ttf
'xxxx proportional unicode bold' is not in pd4fonts.properties file
reject TTF lookup for: 'xxxx proportional unicode bold'
'times' is not in pd4fonts.properties file
reject TTF lookup for: 'times'
'times new roman' is not in pd4fonts.properties file
reject TTF lookup for: 'times new roman'
'akzidenzgroteskbe-bold' is not in pd4fonts.properties file
reject TTF lookup for: 'akzidenzgroteskbe-bold'
done in 500ms.
This is the code that I believe is relevant:
Code:
String pathToPd4fontsProps = "/com/xxxx/xxxx/portal/render/document/pd4fonts.properties";
URL fontPathURL = PD4MLDocumentRenderer.class.getResource( pathToPd4fontsProps );
File fileP = new File(fontPathURL.toURI());
fontPath = fileP.getParent();
Later on in the same method I have this code:
Code:
pd4ml.enableDebugInfo();
pd4ml.useTTF( fontPath, true );
I followed the documents on this site to generate my pd4browser.properties, which is located in the same directory as the fonts and contains the following:
Code:

Finally, my pd4fonts.properties file is located in the same directory as the fonts and pd4browser.properties and it contains the following:
Code:
#this is an autogenerated file. please remove manually any references to copyrighted fonts
#Wed Mar 24 07:21:32 EDT 2010
KaiTi_GB2312=SIMKAI.TTF
xxxx\ Fixed\ 2\ Unicode=xxxx-fixed2U.ttf
xxxx\ Fixed\ Unicode=xxxx-fixedu.ttf
xxxx\ Fixed\ Unicode\ B=xxxx-FixedU_B.ttf
xxxx\ Fixed\ Unicode\ C=xxxx-FixedU_C.ttf
xxxx\ Fixed\ Unicode\ D=xxxx-FixedU_D.ttf
xxxx\ Fixed\ Unicode\ F=xxxx-FixedU_F.ttf
xxxx\ Prop\ Unicode\ B=xxxx-PropU_B.ttf
xxxx\ Prop\ Unicode\ C=xxxx-PropU_C.ttf
xxxx\ Prop\ Unicode\ D=xxxx-PropU_D.ttf
xxxx\ Prop\ Unicode\ F=xxxx-PropU_F.ttf
xxxx\ Proportional\ Unicode=xxxx-propu.ttf
You see that I have a mention of the Chinese font "KaiTi_GB2312=SIMKAI.TTF" but obviously it never is even mentioned. What am I doing wrong?
My PDFs do get rendered but either with question marks or with the Chinese characters totally omitted. Please help.
Thank you,
Ty
