[SOLVED] PDF with cyrillic "bug" (fonts problem)

[nobody78]

Hi all!

Mistakes at generating PDF with cyrillic (attach 2.jpg). I think "bug" in a font. Has gone on a way http://www.prestashop.com/forums/viewthread/3161/ and convert a font, but there is new mistake

FPDF error: Undefined font: crr35__w B

Any ideas?

(1.0 RC5)

PS. Can't attach original 1251 font and converted .php

Hi nobody78! (very weird to say that, usualy I say "Hi everybody" lol)

You should ask to "Zhivko" who worked very much on this feature.
We made the PDF "utf-8 hack" together, and I think he will enjoy to help you and will be definitly faster on this domain than me (because of not having his hand on the whole PrestaShop code but only on the encoding section).

[nobody78]

Thanks!

[Matthieu Biart]

You're welcome.
Just think about reporting here the solution, or any extra details which could be helpfull for other users.

[nobody78]

As Zhivko soon answer me )))

I have edited classes/PDF.php

       function PDF($orientation='P', $unit='mm', $format='A4')
       {
               global $cookie;

               if (!isset($cookie) OR !is_object($cookie))
                       $cookie->id_lang = intval(Configuration::get('PS_LANG_DEFAULT'));
                       $lang=strtoupper($lang);
                               self::$_pdfparams[$lang] = array('encoding' => $conf['PS_PDF_ENCODING'],
                                                               'font' => $conf['PS_PDF_FONT']);

                               FPDF::FPDF($orientation, $unit, $format);

                               $font = self::embedfont();
                               if($font) {
                               $this->AddFont($font);
                               $this->AddFont($font, 'B');
                                            }

1) Firts of all we have clean install RC5 (if NOT, this not work for previous generated invoices)
2) Second, we should have TTF font supported necessary simbols for your language
3) Third. Go to http://fpdf.fruit-lab.de/ choose map and convert font files to need format
4) (if all OK) Download .php and .z files and rename *.php.txt to *.php
5) Do NOT change files name
6) Place this files to ./tools/fpdf/font folder
7) Replace function PDF in ./classes/PDF.php with code below

function PDF($orientation='P', $unit='mm', $format='A4')
   {
       global $cookie;

       if (!isset($cookie) OR !is_object($cookie))
           $cookie->id_lang = intval(Configuration::get('PS_LANG_DEFAULT'));
       $lang = strtoupper(Language::getIsoById($cookie->id_lang));
       $conf = Configuration::getMultiple(array('PS_PDF_ENCODING_'.$lang, 'PS_PDF_FONT_'.$lang));
       $conf['PS_PDF_ENCODING'] = (isset($conf['PS_PDF_ENCODING_'.$lang]) AND $conf['PS_PDF_ENCODING_'.$lang] == true) ? $conf['PS_PDF_ENCODING_'.$lang] : 'iso-8859-1';
       $conf['PS_PDF_FONT'] = (isset($conf['PS_PDF_FONT_'.$lang]) AND $conf['PS_PDF_FONT_'.$lang] == true) ? $conf['PS_PDF_FONT_'.$lang] : 'Arial';
       self::$_pdfparams[$lang] = array('encoding' => $conf['PS_PDF_ENCODING'],
                                       'font' => $conf['PS_PDF_FONT']);
       FPDF::FPDF($orientation, $unit, $format);
       $font = self::embedfont();
           if($font) {
                   $this->AddFont($font);
                   $this->AddFont($font, 'B');
               }        

   }

Save and close

8) Go to administration panel - Preferences >> PDF, choose Encoding and created Font
9) All done. Enjoy!

Thanks for superhero495, mazvv, Bad_Boy, me and Presta-team ))

Hi everybody,
i appreciate your work,
but this is not working for me... every time, i get this error: FPDF error: Could not include font definition file
i want to add Arial font, with cp1251 encoding, for Macedonian Cyrillic letters (or am i doing it wrong? should I add a Mac C Times font or similar?)

i uploaded arial.ttf on this web, and downloaded four files :
*.php;
*.z;
*.t1a.ps;
*.afm;


I tried to follow FPDF Tutorial7 , but i cant understand the last step Declaration of the font in the script... where do i add that code line?

$pdf->AddFont('Arial','','arial.php');

in which script??


any help please,
Alek

7) Replace function PDF in ./classes/PDF.php with code below

Version 1.4.6.2 does not have this function in the pdf.php file. Therefore I could not finish with the instructions. Perhaps as a result of this I also get this error menioned already in this thread when I select the font that I have uploaded. and still no cyrillic for me.

Success with this anyone?
