Hello,

I download your trial version on neoweb and find it very intresting.

I have a small question about neopdf plugin when try to render with Greek or Cyrilic characters instead of text gives strange symbols.

I understand is encoding problem and need little help how to solve it and display the text correctly.

Hi @ecotip, and welcome to the forum :)

It's a font problem.
You must include in your project a font in a special format with cyrilic and/or greek characters.
It's the same if you want to add any aditional font family or even barcodes.

Just follow these steps:

Steps to embed any font into neoPDF:

1) Go to https://fontconverter.visualneo.com/

2) Upload a TTF font with the special characters you need and download the generated script file.

3) In VisualNEO Web add the script file to Project >Properties >Libraries/Files

The font will be embeded ready to be used within neoPDF Plugin using this command:

neoPdfFont "docname" "myCustomFontName"

Let me know if it works for you.
Best regards.

PD: I have added the font conversion utility link to the site Resources menu.
