When a [[Web Page View]] is converted from HTML to PDF certain special characters may not be converted correctly.
To ensure compatibility use Most western Latin Unicode characters from the ISOwill be displayed normally. If your PDF will contain non-8859-1 character set Latin characters such as Japanese then they have tell PDF writer using TTF (see http://enTrue Type Font) and specify the font should be used.wikipediaThe font must be one that can render the characters correctly.org/wiki/ISO You must also tell the PDF writer to use True Type Font by including the following anywhere with the [[Web Page View]]:* <font size="3">&lt;!--Use TTF--></IEC_8859-1)font>  Supported special For example, to display Japanese characters includeproperly do the following:* ¥ # Put this '''&lt;!--Use TTF-->''' somewhere within the web page view* §# Put this '''&lt;font face="VAL Gothic Regular">''' or '''&lt;font face="Bitstream Cyberbit">''' in front of the text that will contain the special/non-Latin characters. ::* Alternately you can define the font within a &lt;style> tag for each element. For example:* ¤<pre>* ß<style>* þ<!--@sslogic("@me.langid@" in (7,15))-->* °body,div,span,p,table,tr,th,td,a{* ¿ font-family: "Bitstream Cyberbit",'Arial',Verdana, Arial, 'MS Sans Serif', sans-serif;* Þ font-weight:normal;* Ø}* Ð<!--@end-->* ª* ¹* ²* ³</style></pre>
'''Note:''' Many fonts such as Japanese and Korean do not fully support bold text. Accordingly using "&lt;b>" or "&lt;strong>" tags, or style="font-weight:bold or 200 etc. (or CSS entries) may result in garbled output. Thus in the &lt;style> example above the font-weight is defined as normal. Note that any in-line styles in the Web Page View (i.e. &lt;span style="font-face:Arial">) will override the styles defined in the style tag.
