Unicode character Issue

[abhi0476]

If html contains some character like → ,it shows # instead.
Can you please suggest a fix

Hi @abhi0476

You need to provide a font that can render the character in question. This font file is specified via a font-face rule. It can be the primary font for the given text or one of the fallback fonts.

@danfickle
Thanks for the reply. Fixed it using the method: builder.useFont
However it takes some time to load the font.

Hi all,

I have a problem with unicode characters. In PDF file I see "#" instead of "ă" or "ș" .
How I can fix it? Thank you.

I have ocrb10 font in my html template. @font-face { font-family: ocrb10; src: url('${host}/ocrb10.ttf') } I've tried to add 'unicode-range: U+?????;' to this font-face but it doesn't work. I still see "#" instead of "ă" or "ș" I can not find ocrb10 font in Unicode.

Hi,

unicode-range is not supported. Things to check:

• The embedded font is true type and contains the missing characters.
• The element where the missing characters are used actually is using the embedded font in its font-family property.

For other tips, see the fonts wiki page:

Hi! I have same problem now with openhtmltopdf.
I want to get PDF from html, which contains cyrillic. I use this library in servlet.
But I have same result - the cyrillic simbols converted to #

I use pdfBulider in this way:
pdfBuilder
.useFastMode()
.withHtmlContent(html, "/")
.toStream(stream)
.run();
and html string contains:

<style> @font-face { font-family: "PT Sans"; src: url("https://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=PT+Sans&subset=cyrillic "); } body { font-family: 'PT Sans', Geneva, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; } </style>

But it doesn't help me.
Could you help me - what is the problem?
