PDF creation on XPSP3 and Vista systems

 
 
 
Beitrag4. Nov 2008, 14:30
In response to a post that ended up in the german forum:

After converting charts or lists to the PDF format the letters shown incorrectly,(in other languages) inspite of the fact that for text selected Unicode font.

Ages! 1.5x currently has a bug on XP SP3 and Vista machines. Depending on various factors, it may fail to embed certain fonts into created PDF files. You will get a "cannot open file" message for each font it failed to embed. The resulting PDF file will still be readable, but may use incorrect typography.

The font embedding routines have been changed for the upcoming 1.52 release to be compatible with the latest XP service pack and Vista.

Many thanks for your reply!
I will post my further messages here.
By the way - when I tried to print out chart on Adobe printer - it was created PDF file with correct letters. I think the problem is in PDF
driver which is incorporated in your good software.

It would be a good idea if you can include in downloads file strings.ini
adjusted for new version of Ages. Unfortunately I have only old one which is dated 2002...
From my side I can help with translation to the russian language, as those
lng file which is availiable for download now is very old...

You are right, the font issue lies inside the PDF creation within Ages!, we have found the cause for this, and will provide a bugfix with V1.52.

The updated customizer will go online soon.

The problem vanished with 1.52 for all other users, so please double-check that you
a) have the 1.52 release of the software
and
b) are getting the "cannot open file" when exporting to PDF with embedded fonts.

You should not get that error when using the Arial font, and you should not get a different error message than "cannot open file" - if you do, you are experiencing a different problem that we need to investigate on.

Thanks for posting the files. The problem you are experiencing is totally unrelated to the XPSP3-specific problem that was addressed with 1.52. Sorry, it was me who mislead you to think they were related.

I assume that your system uses a codepage that is different from "Western European" (ISO 8859-1 / CP1252). The PDF-generator in Ages! is currently unable to use any other encoding, which pretty much leaves it useless for you. There is no easy workaround for this that I'd know of.

We are, however, looking into migrating Ages! to Unicode, which will hopefully eliminate these kinds of problems entirely.
