TCPDF-缺少瑞典语字符

Question

I'm using TCPDF in Codeigniter to generate PDF file.

I have link from 'view' to 'controller' function that contains parameters. One parameter is name = 'Högskolan' . When I get this parameter in controller and display in PDF sometimes it's displayed like 'Högskolan', sometimes like 'Hgskolan'(missing swedish character). This issue happens only in IE (sometimes - not always).

Also there are differences when I save this file with File->Save as and File->Save . With first option the file is saved as 'Hgskolan.pdf', with the second as 'Högskolan.pdf'.

What can caused these issues? Any idea?

Thanks.

I would suggest doing something like this: Convert accented characters to their plain ascii equivalents

You will find it works better to output without the accents (provided it doesn't substantially change the word of course).

As anttir suggested it's probably a browser specific issue or system issue not liking the characters. Can you test output on another browser or another platform to isolate the issue.

I'm not 100% sure if it's TCPDF tripping you up there, or the browser. You can test that with something like Fiddler ( http://fiddler2.com/ ) or Charles ( http://www.charlesproxy.com/ ) [both debugging proxies].
