  • Environment: Birt 3.7.1 / Maximo 7.5.0.4 / Sun Solaris 10

  • Problem: Arabic Font Not Appearing in Birt 3.7.1 PDF Report generated from Maximo 7.5.0.4 Application running on Sun Solaris 10.

  • Details:

    1. Birt Viewer is displaying the report correctly with Arabic font as HTML and MS Word, but PDF is eliminating the Arabic characters completely.
    2. I changed the encoding in both files fontsConfig.xml and fontsConfig.xml from cp1252 to cp1256, in the generated PDF file from Maximo the Arabic letter were replaced by '?'
    3. I changed the encoding from to utf-8 as per advise in one of the web notes, but again Arabic disappeared from the PDF.
    4. The PDF report shows the Arabic correctly from windows environment.

Kindly advise.

Birt doesn't understand arabic well, in my case i use a localization which holds Arabic language in it as Unicode

  • Thank you for your comment, can you elaborate more on how you are using localization to overcome this issue. – High Nine Sep 23 '17 at 19:10
