German Umlauts in PDF exports only with attachment

[ZPS GPM]

Hi,

we have a problem with the integrated pdf export. The german umlauts (ÖÄÜ), are printed wrong in a pdf-export (Ä looks like Ãœ) . But if we insert the makro "attachement" to a confluence page, the pdf-export works fine. 

I already try to change the font (ttf-file) and to edit the java-options 

(https://confluence.atlassian.com/confkb/non-english-characters-umlauts-and-diaeresis-missing-or-appear-as-boxes-in-confluence-data-center-pdf-export-994316427.html)

But without success. I hope someone known a solution. 

Best regards

@ZPS GPM In Confluence -> General Configuration -> PDF Export Language Support -> import supported font -> then try export

Thanks @Suvarna Gaikwad I had try this with several fonts. Each time the same result.

@ZPS GPM did you try verdana.ttf ?

@Suvarna Gaikwad Same fault in a different style. Doesn´t work.  

The think is, that it works perfektly if I put in the makro "attachment" on a page. So it cant be an failure with the font, or?

Hi,
I think I have the same problem (only in my case the umlauts get transformed to question-marks instead of e.g. Ãœ)

Since I found your question, at least now I have a workaround xD

FYI, if one gets to an answer sooner:

 We updated our system to Confleunce 7.13. But the problem is still the same

Same Page with and without attachment-makro.  PDF-export-result
