Christian Geisert commented on OFBIZ-1110:
------------------------------------------
Yes, it should be easy to use non Latin-1 fonts for PDF/Printing.
If we include a custom font (and the generated metrics) the only thing a user
would have to do is change the font name in the config (as FOP isn't
intelligent enough yet to use only the needed fonts)
The DejaVu fonts (http://dejavu.sourceforge.net/ , see
http://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=40465 for details on license
and format) seem to be ok and include Cyrillic, Greek, Arabic and a lot more
but no Chinese/CJK fonts - the only issue might be the size of the font.

> current ofbiz(OOTB) reporting does not support multilingual users. When you
> use non-english locale you get '#" characters.
> additionally it is hard to track all changes in reports so here default font
> comes up.
> it would be great to add fop.xcon file to trunk with UNICODE font that could
> print any characters in any languages.
> I've made up two another solutions 1) is a property in general.properties
> that store default font
> 2) to associate font-family name with locale as property (in property file)
> and use this font-family to print reports in user language properly.
> with second solution users can define what fonts they have and want to use
