TCPDF - ÆØÅ from language file doesnt work - 【StackMirror】|php|html|utf-8|tcpdf|html2pdf

I have a tcpdf template that I want to show norwegian letters like ÆØÅ The font I am using is freesans.

The template gets dynamic information from the database and show ÆØÅ correcly but from the php language file it only show ? where theese letters should show.

Both template, connection to db and language file is coded with utf-8.

Any suggestion what could be wrong since the font I use does support this.

I can suggest looking at mpdf: http://www.mpdf1.com/mpdf/index.php - In all my cases, it delivered better results than tcpdf, and it surely can handle a bigger amount of css rules :- - Victor Nițu 2012-04-06 00:24
