Strange behaviour Euro character in pdf quotes

**TMI** · 2008-08-16, 05:53 PM

Throughout the whole CRM, I use the euro sign and it is displayed without any errors. But as soon as a try to print a quote as a pdf, the euro-sign is replaced by â‚¬ . (a strange couple of characters).

I've been browsing this forum for quite a while now, but can't find a solution.

Please help!

Sincerely,

Jeroen

Hi Jeroen

the ezPDF library, used by SugarCRM to generate pdf, does not support UTF-8 characters.
So you can translate it to other charset. Add this line into script which are trying to display the euro symbol.

PHP Code:

 $euro_symbol = $locale->translateCharset($euro, 'UTF-8', 'ISO-8859-1')

Best regards.

Hi!

In what file?
in /sugrcrm/modules/quotes/layouts/standard.php or invoice.php?
Have i insert the line also if i'm using ISO88591 in MyAccount?

Best regards,

Hi Graziella

I believe you need to convert in both files and also for ISO88591 once Sugar try to convert to UTF-8.
