Srikanth,

&#8804;/&#8805; are not included in any embedded font. You have to install the font which contains these 2 characters.

Is there anything i can do on the birt side?? Including the font in fontsConfig.xml or Encoding these characters.. something like that??
Comment 8 Jun Ouyang CLA 2010-10-14 03:35:04 EDT 
If you can find an embedded font which contains these 2 characters, you can specify the font for these 2 characters specially in fontsConfig_pdf.xml like following:
	<composite-font name="all-fonts" font-family="Times-Roman">
	   <character value="\u0068" font-family="Time Roman"/>
	</composite-font>

So,These fonts have to be installed for every machine..pdf emitter does not have solution like the we have for the doc and the HTML emitter where these characters print correctly..

Please click on the link below..The "less than or equal to" symbol is what I am trying to print in the PDF..These are Unicodes.. Is Birt PDF emitter not supporting it??

Comment 13 Jun Ouyang CLA 2010-10-18 02:07:54 EDT 
you can specify "Times New Roman" for these 2 characters specially in fontsConfig_pdf.xml like
following:
    <composite-font name="all-fonts" font-family="Times-Roman">
       <character value="\u0068" font-family="Times New Roman"/>
    </composite-font>

Acrobat can find Times New Roman automatically.
