For anyone who has this problem, the solution is as follows:

In file joomla_folder\components\com_virtuemart\controller\invoice.php around lines 151, 152 change the font

$pdf->setHeaderFont(Array('dejavusans', '', 8 ));
$pdf->setFooterFont(Array('dejavusans', '', 10 ));

also around line 179, change also the font

$pdf->SetFont('dejavusans', '', 8, '', true);

Thanks

I'll follow your advices and let you know if I still have some problems.

Hi there!

I have a text characters problem with PDF's that are being sent by email as an attachment. My eshop language is Greek. When I look at the PDF invoice files at the backend, the text characters are ok. But, when an email is sent with the attached PDF invoice file, all Greek characters are substituted by the ? character.

Note that I have uploaded "arialunicodems.ttf" file and selected it in .

Please help me on the above issue.

Thank you,
Nikos

PS: Note that I had a similar problem when one was generating PDFs from the product details frontend page and I fixed it by changing the fonts in the file to "arialunicodems". In your setup however, I cannot find a respective file.

Thank you for your response.

Actually only {billing_extra_field_3} and {shipping_extra_field_3} are available in "Poissible replacement fields".

Incorporating the 4th field (or additional extra fields) in the new release would be useful for your customers.

I noticed that in VM Invoice --> Global Configuration, only 2 extra fields (1 & 2) are available to be shown in the invoice.

However, for my eshop, I need more than than 2 customer extra fields. Specifically, I need 3 & 4 also.

Please let me know how this can be achieved.

Thanks,
Nikos
