Thai characters not visible on Print to PDF

Post by vikram.tyagi »

When selecting Print to PDF Thai alphabet letters are not displayed (They are displayed on Report Viewer) see screenshot 1 and 2.
While selecting Print / Print with Preview the characters are visible properly.

I have also checked stimulsoft demo website https://demo.stimulsoft.com/#Net/PopulationInChina
In this demo, selecting PDF also shows garbage characters in place of chinese characters. (See image 3)

Kindly provide me the solution for displaying Thai characters properly also acknowledge if this is a known issue.

Thanks

Hello,

Most of the standard fonts does not contain national characters. In this case Windows uses the "font fallback". This algorithm is very complicated and, therefore, is not realized in the exports. To output national characters, please, use the font which contain all necessary characters. For example, the "Arial Unicode MS" font contains many national characters.

Thank you.
