Well,it can post most of the chinese character correctly,but some of these character would be ???.Is it a bug?Maybe caust by fud_wordwrap() function.

Try setting wordwrap setting to 0 or a very high number and see if that makes a difference.

second,it can not auto break line when it got to the end of line except english.

What charset is your forum using, is it UTF-8? It is possible PDF font does not support your charset.

YES,I use UTF-8 charset.

I have put the message stored in file,not in DB.And I open the msg_1000 with eclipse it can be displayed ok.

And I have already tested that Chinese character can be display ok with Courier font in text editor.

I have tried to disabled or change the default pdf font,but i didn't know how to.

waiting for replay.thanks very much!

The Courier font in the editor is not the same as in PDF, which is why the issue maybe there.

I think your best bet is trying another PDF font for the generator.

@Ilia
the only solution for such things is all languages (and posts) have to be converted to utf8 (i think its no problem) and at least one font with all Unicode symbols have to be embedded in forum installation (in adobe binary format)... Or include separate fonts for each used in different languages code-pages (Latin1, Latin2, iso-xxxx-xx, windows-xxxx, etc) corresponding to this languages.
unfortunately, current solution in forum makes almost impossible to add new fonts... I've tried to do this, no way
but when you include Unicode fonts in forum installation so they be able to be embedded also in pdf files, this solve problems with pdf in all languages different from English (English is very poor in signs, you used this to make pdf generator as small as possible, but it causes pdf generator is incompatible with almost all other languages. I hope you understand it at last)

I'm not good in English so i hope it is understandable Wink

Another option is to try and convert the text using iconv() to big-5 or similar encoding that perhaps is better interpreted by the included fonts.

It seems yes, but...
$txt = iconv("ISO-8859-2","ISO-8859-1",$txt);
doesn't save signs like ±êæñ¼¿ó³¡ÊÆѬ¯Ó£ (<- If you can't see them change browser settings to ISO-8859-2). This signs exists in ISO-8859-2 but they doesn't exists in ISO-8859-1 and Latin1 (I don't really know which is used by pdf generator) so it can't really work.

And the same about :
$txt = iconv("UTF-8","ISO-anything",$txt);
It may not work. It can't save all unicode symbols.

So the only solution is: pdf generator have to suupport UTF-8 because:
$txt = iconv("","UTF-8",$txt);
works always and keeps all symbols/signs, etc...
