[Archivesspace_Users_Group] PDF export issue

[Hitomi Matsuyama]

Hello all,



We've had some trouble with PDF export in Japanese.

Descriptive information written with Japanese characters, hiragana,
katakana, and kanji, are not exported to ArchivesSpace formatted
finding-aids at all.



Our IT staff has tried to modify config.rb as follows in order to add some
Japanese specific font types;



AppConfig[:report_pdf_font_paths] = proc {
["#{AppConfig[:backend_url]}/reports/static/fonts/ipa/ipag.ttf"] }
AppConfig[:report_pdf_font_family] = "IPAexゴシック, \"IPA Pゴシック\",

\"ヒラギノ角ゴ ProN W3\", \"Hiragino Kaku Gothic ProN\", メイリオ, Meiryo,
\"MS Pゴシック\", sans-serif"



However, this doesn’t work out and the description in Japanese is still
missing in a PDF.

Have any non-alphabet language users ever faced the same problem?

If it’s been already solved, let us know how to get through.



Thank you!
