I am retriving indian (marathi) text from mysql with utf-8 charset.
This records are displaying correctly in label/text fields etc.
but when I tried to create pdf with this text, it creates pdf but with strange symbol showing..
I am new in encoding...
english letters are showing correctly but no other char (marathi_indian)
(1) can external typeface (custom font) can be used?? how??
(2)can
pdfwriter1.addRawContent(string)
will work
(3) can I convert sql_retrieved data to iso-8859-1 n then use pdfwriter1.addtext()
will it work??? how
I tried many given fonts but might be missing simple logic by choosing correct charset
