Hello, good folks,
I have a problem I think was discussed many times in the past but so far I have not seen any solution to it (also the threads I found are mostly several years old). We are running a Pentaho CE 5.1 server with some reports. If we generate them as HTML or Excel, everything is fine, but when exported as PDF, the national characters (č, ž, é, ů and so on) are either completely left out with no blank space in their place, as if it was a typo (observed by a colleague with Windows 7) or some strange characters are printed instead (observed by me on Linux).
Somewhere on StackOverflow I found a suggestion that the fonts have to be installed on the server for the PDF to render correctly. So we tried this, but to no avail.
Everything in the report configuration is left at default values, and the classic-engine.properties file on the server is also unchanged. We also run a Pentaho 5.0.1 instance where this doesn't happen. Both servers run some version of Debian, but there may be some differences in their configuration.
Please, if you have an idea what could be wrong, can you point me in the right direction?
