Problem with Cyrillic when export page to PDF (Some chars are Italic)

Recently I've tried to export a page from Confluence to PDF. Page contains some text in Cyrillic as well as English text and pictures. In exported PDF some of Cyrillic characters are italic and i don't know why. I have tried many Fonts - Arial, Calibri, DejaVu - but with same issue :

Hi Arthur,

This is a separate issue, and is reported as the following bug:

* CONFCLOUD-42748 Export to PDF in another language does not work with pre-formatted text

To work around it you would have to not use it within the pre-formatted code macro.

In the meantime, could you add a vote to that bug in order to help show the number of users encountering the issue? It will help to properly prioritize it.

Thank you!

Hi!

Thanks, solve this by option within fontforge (optimize or somthing).. but i still have an issue with cyrillic in PDF

Plain-text do not rendering at all:

original (confluence view):

so as you can see ru symbols are collapsed

Hi Arthur,

It could be the PDF font.

Have a look at Create a PDF in another language.

I would recommend uploading just a regular .ttf of your desired font there and test it with that. Then, if that works, you can try uploading a .ttc of all styles (e.g. bold, italics, etc.)

Let me know if you have any questions.
