Sorry, I misread the email. Unicode fonts were not supported in html2pdf.
I've made a change to allow them, please update html.py: https://pyfpdf.googlecode.com/hg/fpdf/html.py Then, you need to load a ttf unicode font, and then pass it in <font> face attribute: pdf=MyFPDF() # add utf8 font pdf.add_font('DejaVu', '', 'DejaVuSansCondensed.ttf', uni=True) # first page: pdf.add_page() pdf.write_html(u"<font face='DejaVu'>Ąžuolas</font>") For more info and complete code, see: https://code.google.com/p/pyfpdf/wiki/Web2Py Let me know if that works so I can update the docs and web2py contrib version Best regards Mariano Reingart http://www.sistemasagiles.com.ar http://reingart.blogspot.com On Fri, Apr 26, 2013 at 11:45 PM, Mariano Reingart <reing...@gmail.com> wrote: > On Fri, Apr 26, 2013 at 11:42 PM, Mariano Reingart <reing...@gmail.com> wrote: >> On Fri, Apr 26, 2013 at 6:34 PM, Jonathan Lundell <jlund...@pobox.com> wrote: >>> On 26 Apr 2013, at 1:17 PM, Jurgis Pralgauskis >>> <jurgis.pralgaus...@gmail.com> wrote: >>> >>> ok, SOLVED ttf issue for unicode example >>> http://code.google.com/p/pyfpdf/wiki/Unicode >>> just needed to create directory gluon > contrib > fpdf > font >>> and place needed ttf files insited it :) >>> then pdf.write(8, u"Ąžuolas") works fine >>> >>> >>> The fpdf logic uses utf8 for fonts it sees as UTF-based, otherwise latin-1. >>> It looks to me as though either it isn't recognizing your fonts as UTF, or >>> there's some overlooked case that it's making a mistake with.
