Problem with special characters in PDF creation with PHP on Suse Linux
 

Hi,
we are creating PDFs from different sources using PHP, Zend_PDF class and Zend server (based on apache2). Developping on windows the PDFs are OK. If we deploy the application on testing server running SuseLinux the special characters (ä ö ü ß) don't show. We use 1 of the standard fonts, HELVETICA and have tested without success COURIER.

The system
$LANG echoes "de_DE.UTF8"
LC_ALL echoes "C"

Do you have an idea what to do or try?

Woud be great if you let us know...

OK - it turned out to be a coding question. I had thought that some system variable might cause the problem but we simply had to clean the input data and got it working.

Hi,
