Hi, I tried to combine ideas from http://code.google.com/p/pyfpdf/wiki/Templates and http://code.google.com/p/pyfpdf/wiki/Unicode
but not much luck... encodings were always hard for me... I can insert unicode via direct "write" ok, but if I try to insert it via cell/multicell, I get stuck ... I changed file encoding of template.py and also replaced if isinstance(text, unicode): #~ text = text.encode("latin1","ignore") text = text.encode('utf8') and explicitly changed all set_font to: #~ pdf.set_font(font,style,size) pdf.add_font('DejaVu', '', 'DejaVuSansCondensed.ttf', uni=True) pdf.set_font('DejaVu','',size) but then I get: Traceback (most recent call last): File "unicode_template.py", line 321, in <module> f.render("./invoice.pdf") File "unicode_template.py", line 135, in render self.handlers[element['type'].upper()](pdf, **element) File "unicode_template.py", line 172, in text pdf.cell(w=x2-x1,h=y2-y1,txt=text,border=0,ln=0,align=align) File "/home/nijole/Downloads/pyfpdf/fpdf/fpdf.py", line 632, in cell txt = self.normalize_text(txt) File "/home/nijole/Downloads/pyfpdf/fpdf/fpdf.py", line 1043, in normalize_text txt = txt.decode('utf8') File "/usr/lib/python2.7/encodings/utf_8.py", line 16, in decode return codecs.utf_8_decode(input, errors, True) UnicodeDecodeError: 'utf8' codec can't decode byte 0xba in position 1: invalid start byte -- --- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "web2py-users" group.
