PDF Export and Chinese Characters

[Ryan]

Hi,

I have followed your examples posted in other threads(http://www.telerik.com/community/forums/aspnet-ajax/grid/about-exporttopdf-of-radgrid.aspx) regarding this.  My code works locally, but on the server the pdf is still showing #### for Chinese characters.  Originally I thought the problem was because the font Arial Unicode MS was not installed on the server.  I had it installed and it's still not displaying correctly.  Thanks in advance.

Hello Ryan,

I cannot reproduce the issue at my end. Check the following demo which implements the same.
Grid / Export to PDF

Thanks,
Princy.

Thanks for the response.  I actually put in a support ticket with Telerik.  Whatever machine you're installing the Arial Unicode MS font on needs to be restarted for the font to become available.

Hi guys,

This mostly happens on the servers because in the majority of the cases they don't have Microsoft Office installed.
Arial Unicode MS font is normally distributed as part of Microsoft Office.
