Encoding problem while exporting pdf

Nevin Cansel February 15, 2022

Hello,

We have Confluence Data Center and when I want to export pdf, turkish characters are exported as question mark.

I changed font to Arial which supports turkish language but nothing has changed. I added properties to Tomcat which are 

-Duser.language=en
-Duser.country=US
-Duser.variant=US
-Duser.timezone=Asia/Istanbul
-Dfile.encoding=utf-8
-Dsun.jnu.encoding=UTF-8

but the result is same.

When I export to word, everything works fine but how can I export pdf with proper characters?

Thanks in advance!

I think it isn't an encoding problem, but the font Confluence uses to create your PDF doesn't contain the Turkish character glyphs.

Make sure that you uploaded a font file which does!

Hi Aron,

I tried at least 4 different fonts that contains Turkish characters but it did not work. That is why I thought it might be an encoding related issue.

Any other solution?

If you can't get the built in PDF export feature working, you could try the PDF exporter apps. Maybe those will work better...

Thanks for advice but I prefer to use build-in feature.
