Unicode PDF Output

Reporting from a Unicode data source with PDF output format is available when using the following two fonts which support Unicode characters:

The Lucida Sans Unicode font is the default font if FOCUS is configured for UTF-8 (code page 65001) or UTF-EBCDIC (code page 65002).

If FOCUS is configured for Unicode, and you want to use the Arial Unicode MS font instead, you must specify the Arial Unicode MS font in the StyleSheet. Alternatively, if the FOCUS PDF font mapping file (for example, EDAHOME NLS pdf.fmp) has DEFAULT-FONT=YES specified for Arial Unicode MS, then it becomes the default font. For example:

font=Arial Unicode MS, style=normal, metricsfile=PDARUM AFM *, 
DEFAULT-FONT=YES, $

For more information about how to use the PDF font mapping file, see the Creating Reports manual.
