Export to PDF Spanish accent

[David]

Hi there,

We are using Kendo Charts in our application. We can successfully export the charts using the following jQuery.

 var chart = $("#" + idChart).getKendoChart();
        chart.exportPDF({ paperSize: "auto", margin: { left: "1cm", top: "1cm", right: "1cm", bottom: "1cm" } }).done(function (data) {
            kendo.saveAs({
                dataURI: data,
                fileName: "chart.pdf",
                proxyURL: "@Url.Action("Export_Save", "Home")"
            });
        });

But spanish accents are not rendering properly in the output PDF. Is there any configuration to be set?

Thank you.

Hi David,

I replied to the same question in your other thread, however here is my answer too:

In order to get everything correctly rendered you should import "DejaVu Sans" font for embedding: 

<script>
    // Import DejaVu Sans font for embedding

    // NOTE: Only required if the Kendo UI stylesheets are loaded
    // from a different origin, e.g. cdn.kendostatic.com
    kendo.pdf.defineFont({
        "DejaVu Sans"             : "http://cdn.kendostatic.com/2014.3.1314/styles/fonts/DejaVu/DejaVuSans.ttf",
        "DejaVu Sans|Bold"        : "http://cdn.kendostatic.com/2014.3.1314/styles/fonts/DejaVu/DejaVuSans-Bold.ttf",
        "DejaVu Sans|Bold|Italic" : "http://cdn.kendostatic.com/2014.3.1314/styles/fonts/DejaVu/DejaVuSans-Oblique.ttf",
        "DejaVu Sans|Italic"      : "http://cdn.kendostatic.com/2014.3.1314/styles/fonts/DejaVu/DejaVuSans-Oblique.ttf"
    });
</script>

and set "DejaVu Sans" font to the chart title, labels etc. For your convenience I prepared a basic example - please check it and let me know if this information helps or I can assist you further. I wish you a great day!
