When the invoice was created from the virtuemart. All chinese words showed as "?" characters. How can I add support for the chinese word?
Hi chiowai
Normally with the 'utf8_general_ci ' database collation on your site, the template will work well with Chinese language characters. It seems to be Virtuemar issue, could you please try to switch default template - JA Megastore to Protostar - a standard template of Joomla and see how the invoice looks like?
Hi saguaros, I have tried the Protostar template, but it also not show the chinese characters correctly.
Hi saguaros, I found that the system information from Joomla, show the Database Collation is "utf8_general_ci" So I think that the tcpdf is not supportting utf8 fonts by default when it translate the order detail to pdf format.

It seems issue from Virtuemart itself, could you post the same question into VM's forum?
saguaros After I read from the VM's forum, I found the solution is that add a Chinese font to /libraries/vendor/tecnickcom/tcpdf/fonts. My problem solved with the correct chinese characters now.
Thanks.
Glad to hear that!
