Hello,

When I an trying to export a PDF with chinese ideograms instead of "好“ I get two blocks.

Can I specify fonts which support also chinese ideograms?

    Hello colin,

    I tried customize: function (doc) { doc.defaultStyle.font = 'arial.ttf'; }

    but nothing changed.

    If I use

                    // Add fonts to PDF Maker
                    pdfMake.fonts = {
                        Arial: {
                            normal: 'arial.ttf',
                            bold: 'arialbd.ttf',
                            italics: 'ariali.ttf',
                            bolditalics: 'arialbi.ttf'
                        }
                    };
    

    I get error and export does not work

    What is the error you are getting?

    Did you follow the steps in the PDFMake docs to use your font with PDFMake?
