support in non latin fonts in centos

1.2k Views Asked by WebQube At 12 April 2025 at 18:34

I'm trying to enable export html to pdf in my language (Hebrew). The html and export work fine on my local machine (Mac).

I'm using https://github.com/wkhtmltopdf/

On the remote machine(Centos7) The html works with the Hebrew fonts but the export to pdf outputs this

I've tried following:
1.

<head>
    <meta name="pdfkit-page-size" content="Legal"/>
    <link rel="stylesheet" href="/static/webapp/plugins/manual/pdf.css">
    <meta charset="UTF-8">
</head>

sudo yum install curl cabextract xorg-x11-font-utils fontconfig
sudo yum install liberation-sans-fonts
sudo yum install dejavu-lgc-sans-fonts (from: https://gist.github.com/drakakisgeo/7591660)

None worked.

The output of locale

[my_user@ip-172-31-34-70 ~]$ locale
LANG=en_US.UTF-8
LC_CTYPE="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_NUMERIC="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_TIME="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_COLLATE="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_MONETARY="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_MESSAGES="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_PAPER="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_NAME="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_ADDRESS="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_TELEPHONE="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_MEASUREMENT="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_IDENTIFICATION="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_ALL=en_US.UTF-8

Any suggestions?

The answer is that the remote server didn't have the right fonts.

I have also solved this by just copying Arial.ttf from my local mac in /Library/Fonts

scp -i "$STAGING_CERT_PATH" Arial.ttf root@"$STAGING_IP":/usr/share/fonts/local/

to my remote server to /usr/share/fonts/local (created the local dir myself).

then fc-cache -v to update and it worked
