Hi,

I previously had a problem with Cyrillic letters (they have not been pretty displayed ) to be shown in PDF when I export it from system.
So I changed fontsConfig.xml and fontsConfig_pdf.xml

I changed mapping:
<mapping name="serif" font-family="Arial Unicode MS" /> to Arial Unicode MS
and also encoding (this is for Cyrillic letters)
<encoding font-family="Arial Unicode MS" encoding="Cp1251" />

and also some composite font


I changed this in this both files and now pdf is displayed correctly.

But now I have problem to export it to doc Microsoft Word:
when i export it in word non English letters are shown as little squares.
Font selected in word is Lucida Sans Typewriter.If I manually select text and then change font to Arial Unicode MS text is displayed OK.
So which file do I have to change for correct Word document?

Is it only fontsConfig_linux.xml???

I tried to put Arial Unicode Ms instead on Lucida Sans Typewriter on evry place (bolded one) but then I am getting format error corrupted document, and file is not opened!!!

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

<font-aliases>
<mapping name="serif" font-family="Arial Unicode MS" />
<mapping name="sans serif" font-family="Lucida Sans" />
<mapping name="monospace" font-family="Arial Unicode MS" />
<mapping name="cursive" font-family="Arial Unicode MS" />
<mapping name="fantasy" font-family="Arial Unicode MS" />
</font-aliases>
<composite-font name="all-fonts" default="Arial Unicode MS">





</composite-font>


What do I have to change for correct word document?
Thanks

What version of BIRT are you using?

Any chance you could try this in a later version of BIRT?

I can't Jason because system in which I am importing does not support on example 3.7 Birt reports.I already tried.

fontsConfig_PDF is file for changing fonts for PDF but which file is for WORD.

Firstly I didn't change it to Arial Unicode and then I could open my document but all letters except for English ones, was displayed as little squares.
Does for correct Word format it is only enough to change fontConfig_linux? Why when I changed this to Arial_Unicode my PDF file also can not be opened? Like the change in this file also effects and PDF export which I finally managed to set. But how then to set font for correct WORD document? It is not problem on the WORD side because when I select text and change it manually in Arial Unicode WORD everything is OK.
If fontConfig linux is not supposed to be changed where then I have tto change this to some format other from Lucida for WORD?
Do I have some alternative?

Thanks

I do not think the word emitter uses fontsConfig. I wanted you to try
the report in a separate 3.7.2 install to see if the issue has been
fixed in a later version of BIRT. You may want to look over these bugs:

Unfortunately I can't test it in 3.7.2 because this IBM application does not support BIRT reports in this format.

Some guy wrote for his similar problem:
"Fixed.

Word can shift to the proper font if the user defined font can not display some
characters of a string. So we need not use the font-config. We just need to
handle the generic font mapping to make sure it is consonant with HTML and pdf
output."

But my does not shift to proper font? I saw that for all problem patches did not work.

Some othe guy wrote:
"Fixed. In word tag sz only applies for Asian and Latin fonts in a run. Add a
tag sz-cs to support complex script fonts in a run. "

Where to add this tags if this i solution?

Jason I think solution is to find where does BIRT or my application sets this Lucida font for default word export. I found it only in fontsConfig_linux. There must be some other place also what do you think? thanks

I believe the sz-cs is in the word xml format. You may want to open a
bugzilla entry to see if any of the devs have a possible work around.
