Hi, I have tried again to generate a pdf file from an htlm file with someunicode characters. There is my test program. It's a simplified version, in the original program there is a lot of additional test lines.
def pp():
from gluon.contrib.pyfpdf import FPDF, HTMLMixin
class MyFPDF(FPDF, HTMLMixin):
def header(self): pass
def footer(self): pass
# create a small table with some data:
rows = [THEAD(TR(TH("Key",_width="70%"), TH("Value",_width="30%"))),
TBODY(TR(TD("Hello"),TD("60")),
TR(TD("World äöü éè €"),TD("40")))]
table = TABLE(*rows, _border="0", _align="center", _width="50%")
pdf=MyFPDF()
pdf.add_font('DejaVu', '', 'DejaVuSansCondensed.ttf', uni=True)
pdf.add_page()
pdf.set_font('DejaVu','',10) # set font method 1
# table =TAG.font(table, _face="DejaVu") # set font method 2
html = str(XML(table, sanitize=False))
pdf.write_html(html)
response.headers['Content-Type'] = "application/pdf"
return pdf.output(dest='S')
I am sure that the font file is loaded, but it seems that the font is not
used.
I have tried two methods to change the font, but the results are the same.
It doesn't look like Sanserif and every Unicode-Character is printed with
every single utf-8 byte. Maybe it's only a small error, but I could not
find it.
