the issue I am facing is that I have Spanish Names stored in my table and as I fetch and print them with PHP, all names comes fine (with special (Spanish) letters), but if I write PDF using FPDF, the PDF shows such special letters either abnormally or in plain english.

I need to write Muñoz García in PDF but it is coming as plain text Munoz Garcia

I have tried solutions given at stackoverflow but none is working for me.

I have tried... utf-8, fpdf, iconv(), setlocale(), , but all waist.

Kindly help.

  • If you use the standard fonts, UTF-8 strings must be converted to windows-1252. You can do it with `$str = iconv('UTF-8', 'windows-1252', $str);`. – Olivier Jul 25 '21 at 07:00

FDFD output to the PDF encoded in ISO-8859-1 We need to use $pdf->Cell(0, 10, utf8_decode($text), 0, 1); use utf8_decode to make sure we send data in ISO-8859-1
