When I look on the FPDF website, I get code that looks like this:

$pdf->Write(10,'³É¶¼ÊÐÎäºîÇøÈËÃñÕþ¸®Îļþ ');

Yet when I test it on my server, it displays actual chinese characters.

However, when I type the code:

$pdf->Write(10,'你好'); //the actual chinese characters

I get random chinese characters instead of the ones I typed in the code.

Does any one know how to convert chinese to the symbols in the first example, or tell me what I am doing wrong?

  • It is very easy and quite possible! The problem is solved by using tFPDF and having a font WITH the language character range you need (i.e., WindowsHelvetica.ttf does not have Chinese).
