Turkish characters
Alacritas1 opened this issue · 3 comments
Hello,
When I try to fill pdf files with Turkish text some Turkish characters don't appear on the output.
And when I enable unicode setting, characters appear but the text font changes.
Am i doing something wrong or is there no way to use this software properly with Turkish characters at this moment?
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.
and teşekkürler.
Hello,
the support of unicode characters is a two weeks old new feature.
This behavior is a problem which I am, at least now, not able to fix. The cause is a problem with writing text fonts. The library which I use, writes by default in the PDF forms with the arial windows font which is not capable of displaying characters like chinese, cyrillic or turkish ones. Cause of this, I added a free font to this programm, which support all these letters and is then embedded in the pdf output file (You may notice the increasing size of the pdf file ~3MB of font data) and looks a little bit odd (but hey it's free).
Maybe I will find a solution for this font selection in the future, but for now that's all the programm is able to.
Hey,
I found a relatively simple work-around.
I just replaced the unifont.ttf with the font I wanted and renamed it unifont.ttf then selected unicode in the options. Perfect result.
Just letting you know.
Thanks for the awesomely simple program.
Great idea!
In the next release I will add support for GUI selection of the ttf file :)
