There is already ticket describing this problem... It's problem f PDF generation vs Fonts used vs UTF-8....
(cannot find releated issue right now)

You can have a look at #1170, but I think there is some difference between Russian and Chinese. Maybe your russian problem is caused by the font used in pdf.

I have the same problem, but while trying to setup new redmine installation, suddenly faced similar problems when tried to setup the database in latin1 charset.
And it seems that this is not redmine or PDF generation problem.
This is the problem of the charset you use in the database. Convert your database to UTF8 and it will work well (I didn't tried as I cant find the proper way to do it with my MySql 5.0 ).

This problem does not related with encoding in mysql database. The problem is in PDF generation.

And what is your solution?
RE: Export to PDF works strange with russian symbols - Added by Michael Baikov over 16 years ago

Ok, i got russian letters to display correctly in PDF output using this version of rfpdf http://github.com/edwinmoss/rfpdf/tree/master and with several magic tricks.
RE: Export to PDF works strange with russian symbols - Added by Thomas Lecavelier over 16 years ago
Interesting but, what was the magic tricks?
RE: Export to PDF works strange with russian symbols - Added by Michael Baikov over 16 years ago
- git version of rfpdf
- FreeSans font (i changed default font in ifpdf_helper.rb)
- two obvious fixes, that was needed to make git version of rfpdf to work

All advancement is here. I'm trying to work on it on my spare time, but that late piece is missing :)

That would be a true pleasure, you don't imagine the number of issue it would close once in trunk. :)

1. Replace the rfpdf plugin with the one http://github.com/edwinmoss/rfpdf/zipball/master
2. Apply the attached patch to {REDMINE}/lib/redmine/export/pdf.rb
pdf.rb.patch (1.92 KB) pdf.rb.patch |
RE: Export to PDF works strange with russian symbols - Added by Alex Aktion over 15 years ago
Kidding? I have no idea how to apply patch. Is it possible to have it included in the next release please?
RE: Export to PDF works strange with russian symbols - Added by Mykhaylo Sorochan over 15 years ago
You can apply it manually. Click on the patch link. You need to replace red coloured lines with the green ones in your pdf.rb file.
