PDF create chinese characters

yskapell

Hello,

When I an trying to export a PDF with chinese ideograms instead of "好“ I get two blocks.

Can I specify fonts which support also chinese ideograms?

Hello colin,

I tried customize: function (doc) { doc.defaultStyle.font = 'arial.ttf'; }

but nothing changed.

If I use

                // Add fonts to PDF Maker
                pdfMake.fonts = {
                    Arial: {
                        normal: 'arial.ttf',
                        bold: 'arialbd.ttf',
                        italics: 'ariali.ttf',
                        bolditalics: 'arialbi.ttf'
                    }
                };

I get error and export does not work

What is the error you are getting?

Did you follow the steps in the PDFMake docs to use your font with PDFMake?
