Answer 1

On mPDF 6.0, we found that it made the Cantonese language for us:

 $mpdf->autoScriptToLang = true; $mpdf->autoLangToFont = true; 

It seems SetAutoFont is now deprecated.

Answer 2

Add this to your PHP code:

 $mpdf->autoScriptToLang = true; $mpdf->autoLangToFont = true; 

in the css file make sure you have:

 font-family: dejavusanscondensed; direction: rtl; 

and make sure that all DejaVuSans * .ttf files are in the ttfonts folder

Answer 3

You need to enable Asian PDF font support as follows:

 $pdf = $this->pdf->load(); $pdf->useAdobeCJK = true; $pdf->SetAutoFont(AUTOFONT_ALL); 

Answer 4

Have you watched the latest version, version 6? It contains many updates for foreign languages.
