I think that "SaveSettings" method of "installationService.cs" runs during installation. If you want to change a default font after installation, you need to change "GetFont" method in PdfService.cs like as follows.
protected virtual Font GetFont()
{
//nopCommerce supports unicode characters
//nopCommerce uses Free Serif font by default (~/App_Data/Pdf/FreeSerif.ttf file)
//It was downloaded from http://savannah.gnu.org/projects/freefont
//string fontPath = Path.Combine(HostingEnvironment.MapPath("~/App_Data/Pdf/"), _pdfSettings.FontFileName);
string fontPath = Path.Combine(HostingEnvironment.MapPath("~/App_Data/Pdf/"), "ArialUni.ttf");
var baseFont = BaseFont.CreateFont(fontPath, BaseFont.IDENTITY_H, BaseFont.EMBEDDED);
var font = new Font(baseFont, 10, Font.NORMAL);
return font;
}
The used font doesn't support all characters. If your font is not supported, then you can use any other Unicode font. Just copy it into \App_Data\Pdf directory.
P.S. I know what ArialUni.ttf font (provided with MS Office) support almost languages, but we can't distribute it with nopCommerce because it's not allowed (not open source).
Hi, I copied ARIALUNI.TTF to the folder. It didn't work.
And I changed pdf file to ARIALUNI.TTF at line 4455 in installationService.cs file.
EngineContext.Current.Resolve<IConfigurationProvider<PdfSettings>>()
.SaveSettings(new PdfSettings()
{
Enabled = true,
LetterPageSizeEnabled = false,
RenderOrderNotes = true,
FontFileName = "ARIALUNI.TTF", /////////////////////FontFileName = "FreeSerif.ttf",
});
Still doesn't work. please let me if I mssed anything?

infact after I searched for couple of hours for a solution for RTL and I thought it is impossible I found out that all is needed to specify the direction of the Cells and tables and am still working on paragraph so here is the solution for RTL languages
first of all I copied a line from the head.cshtml which is
var supportRtl = EngineContext.Current.Resolve<IWorkContext>().WorkingLanguage.Rtl;
if (supportRtl){}
else
{}
and copied it to method PrintOrdersToPdf(Stream stream, IList<Order> orders, int languageId = 0) which is located in libraries/nop.services/common/PDFservice.cs
and I did the following
1- modify the code to become
var supportRtl = _workContext.WorkingLanguage.Rtl;
2- after each definition of tablecell or table I add the lines
var tablename= new PdfPTable();
if (supportRtl)
tablename.RunDirection = PdfWriter.RUN_DIRECTION_RTL;
cell
var cellname = new PdfPCell();
if (supportRtl)
cellname .RunDirection = PdfWriter.RUN_DIRECTION_RTL;
and that did the trick but you need to figure out how to apply it to the paragraph since am still working on it
