[Chan Kuan Leang]

Can I use Chinese character in the text?
My database had records with chinese character. It can shows in the web. But when come to print this with stimulreport, all the chinese character becomes square.

Is there a way to overcome it?
How do I use it?

Hmmmm.. I am so sorry. Now, i faced the same problem again.

The chinese character shows in my local computer. But when I upload it into my server, the chinese character becomes square again. A different types of square "????32/40(12set/ctn)". Actually it is more thinner square.

Please help me.

Need to settle this urgently as my customer have to print it for everyday business. Thanks

Hi, i also interest in the chinese language display because i gonna use it for my application as well, did you try to install the Arial Unicode MS Font in the server ? According to my testing, the chinese language support have to rely on the Font when you do export to PDF, but it will works fine when it display on screen.

Is stimulsoft gonna work out something for this issue ?
