Hello

I have installed invoice manager latest version, everything working perfect but i have a problem with the pdf files and Greek language.

On the generated invoice the Greek characters (Must be UTF-8) show as ??????? and you can't read anything.

How can i fix this ?

Thank you

Just find it ..

You need to change the font family on templates, on PDF & email version

Can you be more specific?

I have the same problem. All greek characters are translated to ???????

Thanks

Hi, this is because the version of "helvetica" that the PDF engine uses does not have all characters.

try using "dejavu sans" as the font, in your "pdf and email" template.

Unfortunately this solution causes that pdf has a way bigger file. Instead of 12 kB it is over 1,5 MB

Hm that's true. Do we know any workaround for this? Maybe it is a Dompdf issue.

no..it's not an issue, it's just that the PDF has to contain the whole FONT file, because it's not a standard font that any reader will have already..
