I have done almost all the different things mentioned ranging from Font Extension to jasperreports.properties file; but unable to find the solution. Please assist.
I am using Ireport designer to create a pdf which contains UTF8 encoding. The font used in all the fields is Arial Unicode MS (which is used in all the fields). The output PDF generated shows unicode charactes in the default previewer and PDF previewr for itext.
However, when I use Spring Application to display the page, I get blanks instead of Unicode characters. I have created jasperreports-fonts-arialuni.jar and included in my project classpath but somehow I am not able to get those unicode characters.
Can someone please assist?
Thanks,

I have created a JRXML file using Jasper Soft Studio, version 6.13.0.
I can generate a PDF just fine with English content but it does not produce the expected output with Japanese text.
In the internal preview, Japanese texts are working fine but while using JRXML in Java andI generate a pdf, the Japanese text is displayed empty.
Kindly suggest me the solution
I'm building a web page that uses Google WebFonts (open sans) on a PC and it works perfectly, but when I try it on a mac computer it shows a question mark within the text. Why is this?
The character you are seeing is the replacement character, which is used when a font does not contain a particular Unicode character, in this case, "ñ" AKA U+00F1 AKA "Latin small letter n with tilde".
Google Open Sans does contain this character, so it seems that Safari is not correctly getting the font from the web. The rendering engine is then reverting to another font, and that one is missing the offending character. You will be able to check in dev tools on your mac which font is being grabbed by your script.
I checked the script annotation you posted in the comment to your question. You are returning the fonts in the woff2 format. It turns out that woff2 is not supported in Safari as of version 9, but woff is. I therefore recommend changing the format to woff and serving it to your page locally:
Download the script you posted (http://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Open+Sans:300,400,500,700)
Save it as a css file (e.g. fonts.css)
Find-and-replace woff2 to woff
Save the file
Add it to your web project (however you add your other files)
Replace #StyleSheet({"fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Open+Sans:300,400,500,700";}) with a reference to this newly uploaded file.
Solved! One of the developers had its Eclipse not set to UTF-8 so the file transfer using Git wasn't working properly...to check, go to Preferences>General>Workspace>Text file encoding and set to UTF-8
I am converting html templates into PDF/A format using jod converter3(using open office 3x).This is working fine in the development environment(using Eclipse and JRE).

Working fine for english characters
Tried running my program via command line w/o app server still the same output.

Please suggest the problem area.
Check for a hindi font tiff under the location usr\share\fonts\TTF.
if missing then create the same and place the required font tiff.
Following the instruction in this link ( https://github.com/EllisLab/CodeIgniter/wiki/PDF-generation-using-dompdf ), I always encounter an error when opening the pdf file created. The error message is:"Cannot extract embedded font 'TradeGothicLT-CondEighteen'.Some characters may not display or print correctly. " and when i click OK, the pdf displays black background and when i start highlighting the body, it captures the text but text are in black font-color. what should I do to get rid of this error?
There may be something wrong with your font cache, located at dompdf/lib/fonts/dompdf_font_family_cache.php (though the exact file name depends on your release and whether you have loaded fonts). This file tells dompdf what fonts are available for use in the PDF. If this file references a font that isn't actually available you can run into major issues on viewing. You may need to re-load your font files. Take a look at the Unicode how-to for an overview of using embedded fonts. This document hasn't been updated to reflect changes implemented in dompdf 0.6.0 beta 3, but the information is still pertinent.
My C# .NET 3.5 application has an option to export text to PDF. I am using ReportingCloud (based on RDL) as generation engine. However, cyrillic texts shown incorrectly in resulting PDF. What means can I use to generate cyrillic PDF correctly? A method to generate UTF8 will also do.
UPD: Particularly, how to embed right fonts into PDF?
I am not familiar with ReportingCloud, so perhaps this is not the easiest answer to your question. But for really great looking PDFs with UTF8 and cyrillic support you could use LaTeX. But it is a language like HTML, just for PDFs. So you have to generate some source code. It is also possible to embed the desired fonts.
