Hello,
I have problem with creating PDF file with international czech
characters.
Here are symbols I want to get
ěščřžýáíéúůó
dompdf create this
?š??žýáíéú?ó
And code is here
[code]
ob_start();
require_once("dompdf/dompdf_config.inc.php");
$content = '
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN" "http://
www.w3.org/TR/html4/loose.dtd">
<html>
<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="charset=utf-8" />
</head>
ěščřžýáíéúůó
</body></html>';
$pdf = new DOMPDF();
$pdf->load_html($content);
$pdf->render();
$pdf->stream("file.pdf");
ob_end_flush();
[/code]
I have tried thing like using iconv "UTF-8" to "ISO-8859-2",
utf_decode... no success. I don't thing there will be problem with
fonts, because that deja-vu font included in dompdf print those
characters just fine.
I'm really stuck with this, any help would be appreciated.

You haven't actually told DOMPDF to use one of the DejaVu fonts. If you don't do this DOMPDF will default to one of the core fonts (Helvetica, Times, Courier). The core fonts currently only support Windows ANSI encoding, which is why some of your characters are converted to "?".
To display the characters correctly you should try something like the following:
<html>
<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="charset=utf-8" />
See how I have specified that the document body uses DejaVu Sans as the font. That's what you're missing.
