A character of my font isn't displayed well in PDF (for example the €-character) - what to do?
First create a character dump of the string, in order to identify which characters are used:
<fpdf:debug.stringCharacterDump string="1.20 €" />The result should look like this:
1 : 49
. : 46
2 : 50
0 : 48
: 32
? : 63
: 0Now you know, your €-character is placed by the character with ASCII-No. 63.
In the next step, you perform a font dump with the font you want to use:
<fpdf:debug.fontDump />I our example, the character on number 63 is displayed as ? - that's not what we expect. Take a closer look on yourfont dump and search for the €-character. We found it on ASCII-No. 162.
