Actually, I suspect (and can’t verify without seeing the PDF itself) that LibreOffice does NOT embed the fonts properly for use in form fields.

I generate my forms using Libre Office, which doesn´t give me any options about font embedding. I was hoping it embeds the whole font (and not just a subset) automatically if (text) form fields are present. What I see inside this wiki article https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unicode_font#List_of_Unicode_fonts is, that there are quite big differences between single fonts, maybe Arial is not my best choice.

If you want Unicode, you need to use a font that supports Unicode and is embedded appropriately. Leonard From: Thomas Szendefi <[email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>> Date: Thursday, September 22, 2016 at 1:21 PM To: "[email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>" <[email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>> Subject: [Podofo-users] Unicode in form fields Hi all, when i write unicode strings into form fields (using podofo) only the Latin letters are shown, Chinese and Cyrillic remain invisible when I look at it in a linux environment using xpdf or evince. (The font is Arial, installed via the mscorefonts package.) Interestingly it works fine with Adobe Reader in a windows environment. I found out, that none of the base 14 fonts supports non Latin letters – what’s the trick here? A PDF is able to show Chinese or any other letters in a linux environment, but how can I get that to work with form fields? Regards, Thomas
