Description

When exporting Gannts or Issue Lists to PDF, the Japanese-language text is garbled (the English-language text comes out fine). A sample image is attached.

I suspect this will be true of any PDF export, but those are the two exports I've tried this with.

Note that unlike the report regarding Hebrew, this is not true of CSV export for Issue Lists; those come out fine via the UTF-8 encoding.

  • CentOS 5.3
  • MySQL 5.0.77 (yes my charset is UTF-8)
  • ruby 1.8.7
  • Rails 1.2.6 (I think, I'm using the one that was packaged with redmine 1.0.1)

I'm in Tokyo so this would seem to rule out decent printing from Redmine. Because CSV export works, there's always that workaround for Issue Lists.

I've read about the GANTT rewrite, but the fact this is in issue list export as well suggests it's something more generic. I listed the two related reports, but I couldn't see anything where this was resolved.
