make sure WHMCS and your server is configured to use UTF-8 as the default characters set.

tx, yes offcourse it is...

any other ideas?

in notepad++ did you save it as UTF-8 without BOM

You can't use "croatian" letters čćž... in PDF files without special fonts... for example: freesans

[sgrayban]

Looks like he will need to edit his invoice.tpl and add that font then.

[dbosnj35]

thank you all, it did the job

uploaded fonts and then edited the invoicepdf template to use no serif font

Since his problem lies within the PDF invoice file, he needs to edit his invoicepdf.tpl template file.

 

Actually it's quite easy:

 

1. "install" freesans font (copy freesans font files to your includes/fonts folder)

 

2. edit invoicepdf.tpl file to use that font ( $pdf->SetFont('freesans',''); )

 

P.S. that will make your PDF files bigger (around 350 KB) since every PDF file that gets created will have to include that font, in order to display croatian letters. And no, you can't "override" that

 

 

P.P.S. i see you did it already... i'll leave this post, in case anyone else needs it.
