Dear Will,

I have purchased one commercial version of SuiteCRM in Oct. Everything is fine except the Chinese font support in PDF template.

When I print quote, all the Chinese word becomes to small rectangular. Could you help me settle in problem in new released version.

Regards

Edmond

Dear Will,

I find this code in modules\AOS_PDF_Templates\generatepdf.php file:

$pdf=new mPDF(ā€˜enā€™,ā€˜A4ā€™,ā€™ā€™,ā€˜DejaVuSansCondensedā€™,$template->margin_left,$template->margin_right,$template->margin_top,$template->margin_bottom,$template->margin_header,$template->margin_footer);

the mode is en. should I change en to zh?

and I find this in modules\AOS_PDF_Templates\PDF_Lib\config.php

$this->useAdobeCJK = false;

could I change it to:
$this->useAdobeCJK = True;

Thanks in advance.
Chris

Dear Will,

now I changed this file: modules\AOS_PDF_Templates\PDF_Lib\config.php

$this->useAdobeCJK = false;

I changed it to:

$this->useAdobeCJK = True;

then Quick Repair and Rebuild in Admin module, log out, login, now the pdf file display normally.
Any questions if I modified the file? and is it a Bug?

Thank you.
Chris

Versionļ¼š SuiteCRM-7.13.3

Step 1ļ¼Œ
I update the font file to /vendor/tecnickcom/tcpdf/fonts .
below:
droidsansfallback.ctg.z
droidsansfallback.php
droidsansfallback.z

Step 2:
and edit file: /vendor/tecnickcom/tcpdf/tcpdf.php

in tcpdf.php
find below codeļ¼š
public function setFont($family, $style=ā€˜ā€™, $size=null, $fontfile=ā€˜ā€™, $subset=ā€˜defaultā€™, $out=true) {
//Select a font; size given in points
if ($size === null) {
$size = $this->FontSizePt;
}
after it add below:
$family = 'droidsansfallback ';

fix it
