  Hello,

    I am experiencing a problem when trying to export FlexGrid to PDF with some Czech text in it. I have prepared a simple example demonstrating the problem: https://jsfiddle.net/KirillMetrik/ft0j3p85/ . 
  

  This example contains diacritics in header cells and when trying to export this to PDF I get some weird symbols instead of the text.
  
  Could you please assist with this? Thanks!

  Hi,

  You need to embed proper fonts that which supports the required Crech characters.
  
  Please refer to the attached sample which uses FreeSans font to export Crech text characters.

  Hi Sharad,

  the solution with embedding a font works. But it has a disadvantage: the client will have to download font together with report (TTF files usually occupy 2 - 10 MB). Is it the only way to make  foreign cultures work?
  

  Thanks!

  Hi metrix,

  Unfortunately this is the only solution available at this time.
