This folder contain the necessary fonts to display Chinese characters</p> <p>2) if the above doesn't solve the issue, edit your "machform/includes/helper-functions.php" file, search for this code around line 3751:</p> <pre><code>if(strpos($entry_details_json, &#39;\u&#39;) !== false){ $content_font_family = &#39;dejavu sans,Lucida Grande,Tahoma,Arial,Verdana,sans-serif&#39;; }</code></pre> <p>remove the first and last line, to be like this:</p> <pre><code>$content_font_family = &#39;dejavu sans,Lucida Grande,Tahoma,Arial,Verdana,sans-serif&#39;;</code></pre> https://www.machform.com/forums/topic/pdf-generated-file-does-not-support-chinese#post-24355 Sun, 15 Nov 2015 04:03:08 +0000 szzyp 24355@https://www.machform.com/forums/ <p>bring this up again as 4.6 did not solve this </p> https://www.machform.com/forums/topic/pdf-generated-file-does-not-support-chinese#post-24117 Fri, 25 Sep 2015 04:34:11 +0000 szzyp 24117@https://www.machform.com/forums/ <p>Hello</p> <p>I found the PDF cannot show any Chinese characters..
