printing chinese reports from V5

Hi all,

I'm new to OpenERP, and have installed 5.0 windows version.

I tried to print reports in Chinese, but I only got black blocks for where text are. I think it's a font problem, that the font used in RML file aren't Chinese capable. So I tried to manually modify the RML content and replace all font reference to Arial Unicode MS. But I got error message when try to print. Which folder should I place the .ttf file at?

I tried to follow the post down below, but I could not find all the .py file mentioned there. I only saw .pyo version of the mentioned files inside library.zip and they are not text file so I can't edit them.

Can anyone please guide me on how to print chinese in OpenERP 5 running under Windows?

Thanks!

in launchpad, u can find a module named base_report_unicode, it can support unicode, so u can just simply replace the en fonts by cn fonts in it and install....

kokq, did the unicode installation work for you?

For anyone trying to print CJK characters in openerp -- I've found that the standard installation of the base_report_unicode module includes dejavu fonts which don't yet support CJK characters.

I'm trying to go deeper into this, perhaps somebody with Chinese/Japanese/Korean experience on openERP can guide us?
