Missing some diacritics in PDF report

Hello

I have report with some HTML text in "header"
<H1><CENTER>Zbor väzenskej a justičnej stráže</CENTER></H1>

when exporting report, HTML export is OK (right part of the image)
but PDF report is missing some characters with diacriticts, like č
in then middle of the header (left part of the image)

report was created in Eclipse BIRT
there it works, but the character looks little different when printing to PFD

Am I missing some font in report or some configuration in ReportServer?

Hi rsvoboda,

pls take a look here:
http://birtworld.blogspot.com/2010/05/a … fonts.html

it seems these files should be modified depending on your OS configuration:
fontsConfig.xml
fontsConfig_pdf.xml

found in the birt.jar (web-inf/lib).

I found some more information here:
https://www.ibm.com/support/pages/some- … rt-reports
https://www.ibm.com/support/pages/using … rt-reports
https://stackoverflow.com/questions/174 … t/17649379

could you pls create a birt report containing *only* some special characters you need (in this case, c, and z), and post here the minimal BIRT report together with its output in BIRT designer, PDF output of BIRT designer, ReportServer HTML output and ReportServer PDF output ?

Regards,
Eduardo

Hi rsvoboda,

also, since this is working in your BIRT designer PDF, can you check your birt.jar and compare these files:
fontsConfig.xml
fontsConfig_pdf.xml

with the ReportServer's files ? (found in web-inf/lib/birt_Version.jar)

Also, pls take a look here: https://forum.reportserver.net/viewtopic.php?id=940
