TirasX,
I'm not sure, hopefully someone else has had this happen, and can help.
Are Both Fields and Labels using the same font?

Hello Steven,
yes, I use on the same font (Arial). I tried also all other fonts, but the same problem.
Here is how it looks in the builder.
And here is the print. The same letter is printed correctly as field.

Hello,
after research I found out, that nuBuilder is using fpdf to create pdf, which is not compatible with utf-8 chars. There is an alternative, that I couldn't get work properly, but I was possible to test it and my labels were printed correct.
http://www.fpdf.org/en/script/script92.php
And I also figured out why database field are printed correctly. There is an ecoding for them in nurunpdf.php.
Code: Select all
//Add the 'is_array' check by SG 8th May 2015
if ( is_array($this->ROW) ) {
if(array_key_exists($O->fieldName, $this->ROW)) {
$v = $this->nuGetFormatting($O);
$value = mb_convert_encoding($v['V'], "WINDOWS-1252", "UTF-8");
}
}
I think, that there are now two things that could be done in the nurunpdf.php:
1. move to tfpdf
2. mb_convert_encoding for labels
Maybe the devolpers could do this. I am not skilled enough to do that.
Actually I am helping me out and use own hash variables in nurunpdf.php.
Code: Select all
$label = str_replace('#street#', mb_convert_encoding('Straße', "WINDOWS-1252", "UTF-8"), $label);
