    CJK in HTMLPrint

    • Article Type: General
    • Product: Aleph
    • Product Version: 16.02

    Description:
    The problem:
    CJK characters are seen and printed in the GUI "Print Preview".
    But in the HTMLPrint software - Blank squares are shown instead of the CJK characters.


    See the attached Doc that explains How to print CJK characters in HTMLPrint.

    Resolution:
    The reason:
    This is because the Style definitions (a CSS attribute in the HTML) for the "font-family" of the text.
    For example: style="font-family=arial;

    Possible solutions:
    There are three possible solutions.

    See the attached Doc that explains How to print CJK characters in HTMLPrint.

    1 Install support East Asian languages in the PC.


    Or:

    2 - Remove the "font-family" style definitions from the relevant "funcs.xsl" and all "funcs-*.xsl" XSL's.
    After this (+ doing util I 6 to re-package templates, and restarting the GUI), the HTML output will be generated without the style definition of the "font-family".

    - Then you can define the appropriate font in the HTMLPrint.ini file for HEADER, FOOTER and BODY

    For example:

    [FOOTER]
    FONTNAME=Arial
    FONTSTYLE=
    FONTSIZE=8

    [HEADER]
    FONTNAME=Tahoma
    FONTSTYLE=
    FONTSIZE=8

    [FONT]
    NAME= Arial Unicode MS
    SIZE=10

    Or:
    3 Define the appropriate font in the "font-family" style definitions in the "funcs" XSLs templates.
    For example:

    <TABLE WIDTH="100%" style="font-family=Arial Unicode MS; font-size=9pt">
