Question

Im using latest TCPDF version(5.9). But have some strange problems with encoding. I need Lithuanian language symbols like: ąčęėįšųūž. But get only few of it. Other remain like ?????
So what should I do ? I use default times font(it comes with TCPDF download).

Any help would be appreciated.

Set the $unicode parameter on the TCPDF constructor to false and the $encoding parameter to 'ISO-8859-1' or some other character map.

This will help you:

Default for UTF-8 unicode:

$pdf = new TCPDF(PDF_PAGE_ORIENTATION, PDF_UNIT, PDF_PAGE_FORMAT, true, 'UTF-8', false);

Example of constructor for European charset:

$pdf = new TCPDF(PDF_PAGE_ORIENTATION, PDF_UNIT, PDF_PAGE_FORMAT, false, 'ISO-8859-1', false);
