Good day, I am using your QuickPDF dll in MFC/C++ I am able to open/save PDF's with greek names by passing the strings encoded with utf-8 as pointed out in the documentation. Everything works fine here! When i try to draw text though, the text appears as "?????" or other random characters. From what i found in the documentation and here in the forums the code below should work. std::string title("ΑΒΓΔΕΖΗΘΙΚΛΜΝΞΟΠΡΣΤΥΦΧΨΩ");//The Greek alphabet int GreekFont = pdf_dll->AddSubsettedFont("Arial",12,title); pdf_dll->DrawText(100 ,500 ,pdf_dll->GetSubsetString(title)); //Save the pdf and exit... Please point me out what i am doing wrong. Thanx in advance, Stakon. |

Hi, I noticed that noone has any comment on this topic. Is it possible that greek characters are unsupported? |

Hi! It's not a problem with greek characters but with unicode. This is the biggest thing the guys at Debenu are working on and unicode touches nearly every module, every function, ... so it still will last ... but i think it will be better with the next releases. Sure ;-) Cheers, Ingo |

You should try version 7.17 which was just released today.They made vast improvements for unicode code support. Your problem might be fixed in the latest version. If not contact support directly. Remember this is a user to user support forum and it might take a while for someone with the answer to reply. Wheeley  |
