Special characters in report output

Hi,
I was having trouble with special characters (á, é, í, ó, ú, ñ) when prinitng a PDF report.
I ended up replacing the last line of the function nuPrintField at the nurunpdf.php file
from:
Code: Select all
$PDF->MultiCell($width, $height, implode("\n", $contents->lines), $borderWidth == 0 ? 0 : 1, $textAlign, true);
to:
Code: Select all
$text = implode("\n", $contents->lines);
$text = utf8_decode($text);
$PDF->MultiCell($width, $height, $text, $borderWidth == 0 ? 0 : 1, $textAlign, true);
Hope this helps someone having the same issue.
Kind regards,
Fike

Hi,
This helped for static labels on my system, but special characters loaded from the query ends up as a questionmark .
My reports works great at nuBuilder 2.0, but my replicated in 3.0 have issues with the norwegian special characters.
Any suggestions how to fix this?
Regards,
Roar

roar,
What character sets are you using in your tables?

Steven,
Sorry for late answer.
My tables uses latin1_swedish_ci as default.
I tried to convert one table to utf8_general_ci , without any differences.
The zzz_tables uses utf8_general_ci , and before applying the codechanges from Fike i also had problems with several characters on lables in the report. Now it's just the data from my tables which is replaced with a questionmark.

Same here (with greek special characters). All of my tables are utf8_general_ci.
Any ideas?

Kostas,
Do they read correctly in phpmyadmin?

Yes Steven, this is what I get on the pdf:
- nureport.png (1.26 KiB) Viewed 30074 times
and this is the third column of the same query in phpMyAdmin:
- phpMyAdmin.png (4.01 KiB) Viewed 30074 times
The first column on the pdf is a label.

Kostas,
Have you tried other fonts.
I don't know, can you send me a table to test?
