[Web-erp-developers] Multi-language PDF files

[Phil D. <we...@pa...>]

This will need some research since alternative fonts may well be required and 
character sets and it all gets a bit technical I was hoping a scientist could 
figure this out. With pdf.php class from R & OS that we are using, we can 
only use single bit fonts. I understand most True Type fonts can be converted 
to single bit fonts in a .afm file and things will work. 

I am not entirely sure but I think the character set will be set by gettext 
when the _() function gets called.

My conversion of the pdf scripts to date has been a simple string substitution 
and the technical stuff is yet to be resolved. I am hoping there is a way 
around this. I suspect for double byte character sets like Chinese - there 
will not be :-(
