How to add fonts to change the PDF Export language?

[CHIHPEI]

Hi everyone,

I'm using the ASP.NET Core MVC Grid,

after I export the pdf file it cant show chinese character properly(as the provided picture),

I'm aware of the langauge render on the html and pdf is in a different logic,

So how and where can I add a specific font in ASP.NET Core MVC Grid?

Can anyone provide an simple example?

Hi, CHIHPEI,

If you would like to include a font that is not available via the standard library, you could add them as follows:

I hope you find this helpful.

Hi Tsvetomir,

Thanks for the porivded link,

but it is not working

I've put the chinese font .ttf in the local path of  wwwroot/lib/font/kaiu.ttf

and in the .cshtml I've also import the .css file , show as below

@font-face {
    font-family: "DFKai-SB";
    src: url("/lib/font/kaiu.ttf") format("truetype");
}

What am I missing, or is anything thing that I could check?

Kind regards,

ChihPei

The font-face CSS rule is used to define the font. To use it, you should add the following:

.k-widget {
  font-family: "DFKai-SB";
}

Let me know if the font is still not applied.
