I have a database with values in Hebrew. When I generate the BIRT report, the characters are coming out in different symbols. I believe the problem is the encoding type is incorrect and I would like to set it to ‘UTF-8’.
I looked in the fontsConfig.xml but I don’t quite understand it. Does anyone know if we can send in a parameter to BIRT to change the encoding type if the client is using the Hebrew database?
Thanks
I mananged to solve this by doing the following.
I was using BIRT 2.0.0 and for some reason it doesn’t output the hebrew characters correctly on pdf. I upgraded to the latest version (3.7) and did a test through the WebViewerExample and I was able to generate a pdf with hebrew characters.
Long story short, I managed to upgrade the version and I was able to generate it correctly. I didn’t do much with the fontsConfig.xml or setup the ViewerFilter but this help solve my issue.
