To solve the issue of non-Latin characters not rendering correctly while generating a PDF with dompdf or any other solution, you can follow these steps:
-
Make sure that the font you are using supports the non-Latin characters you want to display in the PDF. If the font doesn't support those characters, you will need to find and use a font that does.
-
Specify the font-family in your CSS to use the font that supports the non-Latin characters. You can either use a web font or a font installed on the server where you are generating the PDF.
-
If you are using dompdf, you can set the font-family in your HTML or CSS using the @font-face rule. Here's an example:
@font-face {
font-family: 'YourFontName';
src: url('path/to/your/font.ttf') format('truetype');
}
body {
font-family: 'YourFontName', sans-serif;
}
Replace 'YourFontName' with the name you want to give to the font and 'path/to/your/font.ttf' with the actual path to your font file.
- Ensure that the encoding of your HTML document is set correctly. You can set the encoding in the meta tag of your HTML document like this:
<meta charset="UTF-8">
This will ensure that the non-Latin characters are encoded and rendered correctly in the PDF.
By following these steps, you should be able to generate a PDF with non-Latin characters rendered correctly using dompdf or any other solution.
