How to make hebrew works

[p84torres]

Hello,
I'm using the last version 2.5.1 but I can't render a PDF with Hebrew, even if I Set the language, for example:

`const { jsPDF } = window.jspdf;

const doc = new jsPDF();
doc.setFont('Arial');
doc.text(10, 10, 'תן אישור כשירות מחדש ע"י רשות הרישוי ינתן עם החזרת טופס הודעה בדבר תקינות הרכב החתום ע"י מכון הרישוי.');
doc.setLanguage("he")
doc.save('MyTest.pdf');
`

What I see in the PDF:

Thanks in advance

Hey @p84torres,

I have been using jsPDF for quite some time and have worked with various languages. The default fonts in jsPDF do not support Hebrew or other right-to-left (RTL) languages out of the box. Additionally, setting the language in jsPDF (doc.setLanguage("he")) does not automatically enable proper rendering for non-Latin scripts like Hebrew.

Here’s What You Can Do to Fix It

1. Download a Hebrew-Supporting Font
2. Convert the Font to Base64
   • You can visit this tool to convert the font to Base64: Font Converter Tool
3. Embed the Font in jsPDF using addFileToVFS

Sample Code

import { jsPDF } from "jspdf";
// This is the Base64 font.
import hebrewFont from "./font.js"; 

const doc = new jsPDF();
doc.addFileToVFS("hebrew.ttf", hebrewFont);
doc.addFont("hebrew.ttf", "hebrew", "normal");
doc.setFont("hebrew"); // Use the added Hebrew font

const hebrewText = `"תן אישור כשירות מחדש ע"י רשות הרישוי ינתן עם החזרת טופס הודעה בדבר תקינות הרכב החתום ע"י מכון הרישוי."`;

doc.text(hebrewText, 10, 10, { align: "right" }); // Use align "right" for RTL
doc.save("MyTest.pdf");
