Accented character (à) at end of line

Putting an "à" at the end of a line of an article seems to break the generating pdf that will result in a blank page.
It could be related to wrong charset and conversion.

I can't make the posted solution on stackoverflow, then I temporarly patched the plugin ("plugins/phocapdf/content/content.php") by adding this line before the "writeHTML()":
Code: Select all
$documentOutput = str_replace(utf8_encode("à"),"à",$documentOutput);
$pdf->writeHTML($documentOutput , true);
What could be the final solution ?

Hi, do you use font, which includes this character? Try to change (for test only) the font if this will help

Yes the font "helvetica" includes this character.
I know that "myriad" is the best solution for charset compatibility, how to add this font to the default list ?
What should be the correct name and "case" of the font ? (myriad, myriad pro, Myriad Pro, ...)
Sometime this is very confusing

The the fonts - font packages need to be created for the PDF feature.
See the fonts here:
https://www.phoca.cz/download/category/34-phocapdf-fonts
Try to use dejavusans, freesans, freemono or freeserif, they should include the character
I even test the standard font and get no problem there
