Does anyone have some experience to render Chinese or some other font that English with wkhtmltopdf?

Answer 1

You need to embed a font which is capable of rendering your characters in the PDF itself. Add something like the following to your stylesheet:

@font-face {
    font-family: 'myFont';
    src: url( '/public/inc/fonts/myFont.ttf') format('truetype');
    font-weight: normal;
    font-style: normal;
}

body {
    font-family: myFont;
}
