Hi,
We have an issue with russian cyrillic fonts that are not displayed correctly in pdf when application works in AIX . The same russian fonts are displayed properly in windows machine.



There are spaces between russian characters and also cyrillic fonts are overlapping in AIX environments and the code is developed in java and font used is



and the encoding used in cp1251 .

Can anyone help why the fonts is not giving the expected results in AIX environment.

Thanks & REGARds

There are language packs for Adobe Acrobat that may not be installed onto your AIX system, take a look at:
Adobe - Reader: Asian and Central European font packs for Adobe Reader
Some PDF file may appear to work because they either are:
1. Just a PDF of an image, not real text.
or
2. Have embedded fonts.

Those that do not require the appropriate language pack to be installed.
AIX does not seem to be listed for Acrobat V8 but as the one for Linix is a tarball you may be able to use that? AIX is listed for Acrobat V7 and lists a Central European pack.

Hi Tony,

Thanks for your response.

I have installed the font pack in my AIX environment and still issue is not solved...

we have installed the following file sets
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Path: /usr/lib/objrepos
bos.loc.utf.RU_RU

Whether anything else need to be done for reflecting the new font pack installation in AIX environments.

Any font cache rebuild is required for changes to come into effect?

Also we are using a encoding format Cp1251 which i believe i suitable only for windows environment...

We also tried with K0I8-R ENCODING...BUT NO LUCK!!!

Dop you have more inputs on how to solve this issue ?


Thanks in advance
Regards

All I have done to install the extra language packs is to ungzip and untar each file into a directory under /tmp and then run the INSTALL script that comes as part of the language pack and answer the questions using an expect(1) script to automate the install that answers the questions (Left hand column below with the answer (right hand column where \r is the "enter key") below:

"Continue  installation"     "y\r"
"license agreement"        "accept\r"
"installed the Acrobat Reader"  "/opt/Adobe/Acrobat7.0\r"
