Umlauts in PDF exports

ChrissW-R1

Hi guys,

we have a multi-language wiki and community, which use it. So on some pages we have special characters (umlauts) like ä, ö, ü and ß from the German alphabet, but also ş from the Turkic alphabet.

If we export these pages as PDF, the German characters are printed in the right way. But for example the ş is missing in the export. This is very problematic in names.

In a Word export every works fine.

Any ideas?

If you use the built-in PDF export feature, you can use a custom font. Use one that contains all Unicode characters.

Hi Aron,

thanks for your assistance. With non-default fonts the exports works like expected. I used the DejaVu family and every is fine.

But I changed the font not in the stylesheet, but used this help article from atlassian: https://confluence.atlassian.com/doc/create-a-pdf-in-another-language-175473.html

I am getting reports from a user of problems with umlauts. It works OK for me in Safari but I can recreate it in Opera.

That seems like its not a Confluence problem but browser related.

Any ideas?

Open the PDF document in Adobe Reader, which is the defacto standard PDF viewer.

If the characters are displayed correctly in AR, it means that the file itself is correct, and it is browser that doesn't use the correct font.
