Hi,
Chinese characters prints question mark in pdf export, after a long
investigatin i have found the solution for it, the problem is because of the
report Text box font family and langauge setting. do the following property
settings in your report.
check your system fonts has Picto Glyphs font installed ie.ttf file. if not
install the ttf file.
1. Go to report designer
2. select the filed of row (ie. identified as text box in report .rdl file)
3. right click and go the field property.
4. set the font family property to MS Gothic
5. set the language property to Chinese simplified.
6 run the report.
7. export to pdf you can find the character in chinese.
each langauge has its own font family so you need to set font family with
respect to the langauge.
Regards,
Anitha
