How to Use UTF-8 | Add arabic language

[galtechstaffs]

I get the PDF, but the Arabic character are like "??????" question mark icon composer.js "barryvdh/laravel-dompdf": "^2.0",

app.js 'providers' => [ Barryvdh\DomPDF\ServiceProvider::class, ], 'aliases' => [ 'PDF' => Barryvdh\DomPDF\Facade::class, ]

controller $pdf = PDF::loadView('admin.invoice.invoicepdf', ['invoices' => $invoices,]); return $pdf->stream();

try to add this to the part

body { font-family: DejaVu Sans, serif; }

[Abdullah-Iftikhar]

This can only work if you have a font file in your storage and then include it in your PDF blade file. I got a solution for it.

everything is clear in the image.

[taiwanleaftea]

DejaVu fonts are already installed. I don't know, if it has Arabic. Or you can include any font via font-face.

For those who still facing a problem with rendering arabic charachters. turning the auto_language_detection option in the config file pdf.php to true fixed my problem.

'auto_language_detection'  => true,

Where exactly is this pdf.php file?

Hello @oualidoukassou ! I'm not sure which pdf.php file or config folder you're referring to. Are we using the same version? I'm using the latest version of laravel-dompdf (v2.2.0) I've found this solution to be working with short texts, but it breaks when passing longer texts to it. Expected output:

يتم اختيار فريقنا بدقة بناءً على معايير تأهيل صارمة ويتعرض لرقابة جودة مستمرة من خلال لجنتنا.

Actual output: Has anyone found any solution to this yet?

Sorry for the typo, by mentioning pdf.php i was referring to the configuration file published by another package: mccarlosen/laravel-mpdf Which i found more suitable to arabic. I think it's what you're looking for.
