try to specify encoding in your head tag
<meta charset="UTF-8"> ?

syoukaihou · 2016-12-05T05:58:31Z

I have try add , but it don't work. @terrylow

can you give me a demo ,if you use the same method .

meditatorzhang · 2016-12-08T04:51:13Z

I have the same problem, even serious. All Chinese words display "?", not only in <table>

terrylow · 2016-12-08T07:28:05Z

@syoukaihou @meditatorzhang do you have the chinese font installed ? i have tested, without proper chinese supported font (xx.ttf, xx.ufm, and xx.ufm.php), you will get ?? or square characters

terrylow · 2016-12-08T07:39:02Z

@meditatorzhang @syoukaihou

Step to install your font to dompdf

download load_font.php and place in ur project root
edit load_font.php

change the line require_once "autoload.inc.php";
to require_once "vendor/autoload.php"
add $fontDir = "storage/fonts";

download your chinese supported font at eg: Fonts-Unicode-Chinese and place at your project root
run in commandline php load_font.php xxxfont xxxfont.ttf
eg: you have download simsun.ttf you will do php load_font.php simsun simsun.ttf then you font will be installed to storage/fonts directory
use the font in ur template font-family: simsun and your good to go

@terrylow,
that is great!! it works in chinese fonts.
thanks a lot !

meditatorzhang · 2017-01-24T09:14:46Z

@terrylow,
I operate as your method and run in commandline php load_font.php xxxfont xxxfont.ttf, but this command returns:

Unable to find bold face file.
Unable to find italic face file.
Unable to find bold_italic face file.
Copying simsun.ttf to storage/fonts/simsun.ttf...
Generating Adobe Font Metrics for storage/fonts/simsun...

at last, pdf file also display "?" in Chinese character postion.

@ZK998
Could you tell me how do you solve this problem, thanks a lot!

ZK998 · 2017-01-25T02:34:49Z

@meditatorzhang
Do you set ur page charset ""?
and can you find the font file in ""storage/fonts" directory

meditatorzhang · 2017-01-25T02:39:07Z

@ZK998
I set the page charset, such as <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8"/>,
there are simsun.ttf and simsun.ufm files in 'storage/fonts' directory.

terrylow · 2017-01-25T03:34:15Z

@meditatorzhang did you set font-family in your page or for your elements ?

meditatorzhang · 2017-01-25T12:36:10Z

@terrylow
There are simsun.ttf and sumsun.ufm files in storage/fonts and view file as following,but also display "?"

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
    <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8"/>
    <title>测试pdf</title>

    <style>
        @font-face {font-family: 'simsun'; font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; }
        html, body {  height: 100%;  }
        body {  margin: 0;  padding: 0;  width: 100%; font-weight: 100;  font-family: 'msyh';  }
        .container {  text-align: center; vertical-align: middle;  }
        .content {  text-align: center;  display: inline-block;  }
        .title {  font-size: 96px;  }
    </style>
</head>
<body>
<div class="container">
    <div class="content">
        <div class="title">xiao中华人民共和国</div>
    </div>
</div>
</body>
</html>

terrylow · 2017-01-25T13:04:13Z

@meditatorzhang
meditatorzhang
instead of @font-face {font-family: 'simsun'; font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; }
try
body {font-family: 'simsun'}

you need to use simsun font instead of 'msyh' in your case

meditatorzhang · 2017-01-25T13:49:06Z

@terrylow
That's great. Chinese Spring Festival is approachng, Happy New Year, thanks a lot!

schel4ok · 2017-02-14T06:56:47Z

I don't know if it works with Chinese, but with Russian it is enough just to change setting in config/dompdf.php

"DOMPDF_DEFAULT_FONT" => "DejaVu Sans",

Load font is also working, but my way much easier.
Please check.

dodacvan · 2017-04-07T03:13:48Z

@schel4ok thanks . it work for me .

Cyrille37 · 2017-08-20T10:31:50Z

It works like @terrylow say at #290 (comment).

I use "simhei" that works fine with mixed Chinese and Latin characters.

Then use load_font.php but becarefull : load_font lost previous fonts dompdf/utils#3
- the file dompdf_font_family_cache.php is the important file !
Then just use font-family:simhei;

Cheers

huyit218 · 2018-01-16T09:56:09Z

please help me to resolve my problem, i type my vietnamese but display ? ? character, i'm using dompdf, so how can i do to display m data. thanks all
could you make a video clip?

muhammadtalhaishtiaq · 2020-01-22T13:24:51Z

you just need to add font-family: DejaVu Sans; in your body or also you can set the font family to any specific div in which you are going to display the Unicode Characters.

For body: body{font-family: DejaVu Sans;}

And for a specific div: <div style="font-family: DejaVu Sans;"> --- </div>

Hope this would help.
