Thank you for the suggested solution. I just faced the same issue, using English for interface but had to use traditional/simplified Chinese. Now the pdf printing works.

Yes, you are correct.

To clarify for end users, the change has to be made in reporting/includes/class.pdf.inc by replacing lines 156-162:

                switch ($this->l['a_meta_language'])
                {
                    case "ar_EG" :     $fontname = "ae_tholoth";     break;
                    case "zh_CN" :     $fontname = "gbsn00lp";     break;
                    case "zh_TW" :     $fontname = "chinese_traditional_cid0";     break;
                    default :          $fontname = "dejavu";         break;
                }

                switch ($this->l['a_meta_language'])
                {
                    case "ar_EG" :     $fontname = "ae_tholoth";     break;
                    case "zh_CN" :     $fontname = "gbsn00lp";     break;
                    case "zh_TW" :     $fontname = "chinese_traditional_cid0";     break;
                    default :          $fontname = "chinese_traditional_cid0";         break;
                }

Is this what you did?

The problem is solved. It is because I personally like to use the English interface. When I tested out some customer names, I have to use Chinese. Since FA reporting language matches with the preference language, it goes to default font name - dejavu instead of chinese_traditional_cid so the scrambled characters come up as result. I have a suggestion for users who like to use English interface but need to print Chinese, you can set the default font name to chinese_traditional_cid because I tested it out and it pretty much covers all the characters of simplified Chinese, traditional Chinese and English.

This is strange. I haven't tried it myself. Maybe there are other using the traditional chinese that can help us here.

Hi, I am new to FA accounting. Just finished installing and trying various of things. I got the input of Chinese working already but I am not able to print it correctly (still comes up with scrambled code). I had already download the chinese_traditional_cid.zip files and placed them in \reporting\font\ already and also check the class.pdf.inc to make sure the font name is chinese_traditional_cid.
