In our project we use grid for PDF export. I strictly followed your example, but we have an encoding problem. Some accents are replace by the empty symbol.
Data displayed throught the grid component :

And here the data exported into the PDF file :

@progress/kendo-angular-grid: 1.1.2
@progress/kendo-drawing: 1.1.1
If I try to put accent into the footer, I've got the same result.
Any clue ?
Please make sure that you're embedding fonts with Unicode support. See Custom Fonts.
I don't embed any fonts in our application. So you say that standard PDF fonts don't support Unicode ?
Problem solved : I haven't noticed that we used a custom font for our grid. I needed to use CSS @font-face :
@font-face {
font-family: "open sans";
src: url("/assets/css/fonts/Open-Sans/open-sans.ttf") format("truetype");
}
@font-face {
font-family: "open sans";
font-weight: bold;
src: url("/assets/css/fonts/Open-Sans/open-sans.bold.ttf") format("truetype");
}
@font-face {
font-family: "open sans";
font-style: italic;
src: url("/assets/css/fonts/Open-Sans/open-sans.italic.ttf") format("truetype");
}
@font-face {
font-family: "open sans";
font-weight: bold;
font-style: italic;
src: url("/assets/css/fonts/Open-Sans/open-sans.bold-italic.ttf") format("truetype");
}
I'm closing this issue, thanks for your help !
