Have you installed Chinese character set on the Linux machine?

Comment 4 Xiaoying Gu 2012-02-02 01:11:46 EST

To support Chinese character display, the Chinese character set need to be installed on the OS first. 

Set as worksforme.

Yes　I installed the chinese character.  It can work well when view it as HTML and PPT.  For doc, all chinese character is displayed as "?".For PDF, some character is missed.

If no font can display a character, DOC and PDF emitter will replace the character with the missing char '?'.  It works well on my Linux platform in which the Chinese fonts/font families that specified by the report are properly installed.
Please check your font configuration.

Yes, I check the source code and find it will replace with "?"But why the PPT and HTML work well?  Did you test my added birt file? if yes, could you tell me which package should be installed on Linux? thanks

PPT and HTML generation does not include the font resources in the machine that generating the file, so that PPT and HTML emitters output the unknown characters's information to the target file. 

The default font mapping for font “sans-serif” is specified as "Lucida Sans" in org.eclipse.birt.report.engine.fonts\fontsConfig_linux.xml. To make it work well, you should install the "Lucida Sans" font on your machine, or modified the default font mapping for "sans-serif".
