Hello

I have a class to render reports as pdf. My problem that arabic characters in report replaced with ####.

Please find my code below

#dim stream as %Stream.Object set report = $classmethod($piece(reportClass, ".cls"), "%New")
set report.RUID = RUID set %response.ContentType = "application/pdf"

set sc = report.GenerateReportToStream(.stream, 2) return:$$$ISERR(sc) sc
do stream.OutputToDevice()

return $$$OK

Your help is appreciated.

Hello,

Based on your code, it appears that you are using Zen Reports. In order for Zen Reports to address certain character displays, the appropriate font needs to be specified within the report as well as having the font be loaded into Adobe (e.g. Adobe Arabic).

thanks Julie

~~Here's how:~~

~~Install ghostscript system-wide (Linix: apt install ghostscript, Windows)~~
~~Download fonts, for example here's some cyrillic fonts (you need another font - it's just an example): PT Courier - Cyrillic~~
~~Extract TrueType font CRR35__C.TTF into any gs font folder~~
~~To list gs font folders execute: gs -help, in Windows its usually %ProgramFiles%\gs\gsVERSION\fonts, in Linux /usr/share/ghostscript/fonts~~
~~Add MyFont info sourcing it from CRR35__C.TTF into gs font table: /MyFont (CRR35__C.TTF) ;~~
~~Font table in Windows: %ProgramFiles%\gs\gsVERSION\lib\Fontmap.GS, Linux: /usr/share/ghostscript/current/Resource/Init/Fontmap.GS~~

Nevermind, that's only if you want to use gs directly. For FOP follow these instructions.
