			<content type="html"><![CDATA[<p>Anyone having the ligatures for Tamil?</p><p>1. Why was <strong>arialunicid0.php</strong> removed from <strong>reporting/fonts</strong> folder? Does the current <a href="https://github.com/tecnickcom/TCPDF/tree/master/fonts">cid0XX.php files from the TCPDF project</a> replace them?</p><p>2. Any examples of Indic fonts being successfully <strong>used for reporting in FA</strong>?</p><p>3. <strong>FreeSans.ttf</strong> needs to be added to the <strong>reporting/fonts/</strong> folder since it is the default used for unicode in <strong>reporting/includes/class.graphic.inc</strong> in line 160, now that everything is going unicode... The said font can be taken from the <a href="http://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/freefont/">GNU Project Archives</a>.</p><p>4. <strong>$UTF8_fontfile</strong> defined in <strong>config.php</strong> needs to have the font file (TTF/OTF, etc) in the <strong>reporting/fonts/ </strong>folder as well but that is an enduser choice of override.</p><p>5. Complex <strong>Ligatures</strong> as in Indic Scripts (Hindi/Devanagri, Tamil, etc) are discussed <a href="http://rkvsraman.blogspot.in/2009/05/indic-scripts-and-jasper-reports.html">here</a> for Jasper Reports and developed for PDF Export using the Open Office Library <a href="https://code.google.com/p/indic-jasper/">here</a>. Using Java with iText for Indic Scripts is discussed <a href="http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.java.lib.itext.general/18135/match=tamil%5Dan">here</a>. Indic Script usage in Jasper Reports using Unicode is discussed <a href="http://community.jaspersoft.com/questions/520083/pdf-report-unicode-font">here</a>.</p>]]></content>
