when i export reports in pdf format, some words dont show correctly as it
i use an arabic translation for piwik
for example : the countries names in arabic shows like ??? instead of arabic letters
i think the error is in the pdf class file

Hi
Im curious where you got the arabic translation? It isn’t part of the official list: http://piwik.org/translations/
If you translated it, please contribute it! it would be great. But does Piwik work in RTL?
For the font issue, try replacing in this file: http://dev.piwik.org/trac/browser/trunk/pl…enderer.php#L18
Line 18, replace helvetica by arialunicid0
does it work now?
hi mat
i wrote the arabic translation for few months ago , maybe with piwik 0.5.3 or before, but i did’nt complete it correctly (some phrases was unclear to me)
so, i want to help piwik community and share it but i think you will refuse it
but now i will translate it all and send to your email as noticed in translations page .
piwik works on rtl as i see , i didn’t config html template to run right to left (direction)
it runs as it . the only difference is the language
now after update to 0.8 some words get flipped when view stats in vertical bar graph and piechart
i mean for example the country name changed to (states united) while the correct is united states
that only problem to now
let’s back to pdf now
i changed the font name as you noticed but there is a error
Warning: include(/home/vixus/public_html/vixus/piwik/libs/tcpdf/fonts/uni2cid_aj16.php) [<a href='function.include'>function.include</a>]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /home/vixus/public_html/vixus/piwik/libs/tcpdf/fonts/arialunicid0.php on line 1767
and the last line is:
TCPDF ERROR: Some data has already been output to browser, can't send PDF file
i can’t understand this error, beacause the exists already and the scripts says not. !
i tried to use almohanad font which i founded in fonts directory but i get this error
TCPDF ERROR: Font file not found: almohanad.ctg.z
in other script i founded the pdf class with arabic support and i founded almohanad font in its files
so, i uploaded the files almohanad.ctg.z and almohanad.z but not almohanad.php and it works !
but also there is a problem
some arabic words are not completed or maybe hided under the border of file (something like margin maybe)
and some English words are incorrect (example: word visits displayed without | in i letter, only dot diplayed)
to understand please view the attachment
and sorry for my bad english

i hope you add tahoma or arial font to work in pdf (if it works)
thanks
Hi thanks for the report. I created a ticket at: http://dev.piwik.org/trac/ticket/1537
can you please try something?
download latest TCPDF library in piwik/libs/tcpdf.
Then try again my previous suggestion to use arial unicode font:
For the font issue, try replacing in this file: http://dev.piwik.org/trac/browser/trunk/pl…enderer.php#L18
Line 18, replace helvetica by arialunicid0
maybe this would fix it, but probably not. Thanks for trying
