Here it is shown in the video, its new Joomla installation, with some premade data migrated for testing purposes. Sorry for my silent voice and crappy pronounciation. But I think its understandable. :-)

It's not marked as 'solved', but maybe installing a dejavu font into the tcpdf folder helps. I didn't test that myself, so do I'm not shure if it will solve the problem.

Well on 2.9.9b public function samplePDF() { function beings on line 178 on frontend componenets invoice.php Still I need to install DejaVuSans font. Because it cannot identify it.
So I've imported DejaVuSans font via php commandline, when changing tcpdf_autoconfig.php JPATH_ROOT in K_IMAGE_PATH definition to $_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'].
And then used it in. samplePDF function, and it fixed it. But probably after 2.9.9b update to higher i'll have to remake it again.
Even though I change this function the way you see it now:
components/com_virtuemart/controllers/invoice.php
line 178
public function samplePDF() {
if(!class_exists('VmVendorPDF')){
vmError('vmPdf: For the pdf, you must install the tcpdf library at '.JPATH_VM_LIBRARIES.DS.'tcpdf');
return 0;
}
$pdf = new VmVendorPDF();
$pdf->setHeaderFont(Array('dejavusans', '', 8 )); //was nothing before
$pdf->setFooterFont(Array('dejavusans', '', 10 )); //was nothing before
$pdf->AddPage();
$pdf->PrintContents(vmText::_('COM_VIRTUEMART_PDF_SAMPLEPAGE'));
$pdf->Output("vminvoice_sample.pdf", 'I');
JFactory::getApplication()->close();
}
libraries/joomla/document/pdf.php
line 32 33
/* var $_header_font = 'courier';
var $_footer_font = 'courier';*/
var $_header_font = 'dejavusans';
var $_footer_font = 'dejavusans';
line 222
//$pdf->SetFont('helvetica', '', 8, '', 'false');
$pdf->SetFont('dejavusans', '', 8, '', 'false');
Still problem persists as in attachment below
Sample Invoice with lithuanian letters (http://www.mediafire.com/view/beajwyia8cl9k6v/vminvoice_sample.pdf)
P.S. I've added new font via php commandline like this:

I've changed samplePDF function like this:
public function samplePDF() {
if(!class_exists('VmVendorPDF')){
vmError('vmPdf: For the pdf, you must install the tcpdf library at '.JPATH_VM_LIBRARIES.DS.'tcpdf');
return 0;
}
$pdf = new VmVendorPDF(PDF_PAGE_ORIENTATION, PDF_UNIT, PDF_PAGE_FORMAT, false, 'ISO-8859-1', false);
//$pdf = new VmVendorPDF();
$pdf->setHeaderFont(Array('dejavusans', '', 8 ));
$pdf->setFooterFont(Array('dejavusans', '', 10 ));
$pdf->AddPage();
$pdf->PrintContents(vmText::_('COM_VIRTUEMART_PDF_SAMPLEPAGE'));
$pdf->Output("vminvoice_sample.pdf", 'I');
JFactory::getApplication()->close();
}Doesn't help...

Maybe you can find additional help if you use Google and search for something like: virtuemart lithunian font

Yep, this one helped:
FreeSans font added as well as function in controller/invoice.php changed:
public function samplePDF() {
if(!class_exists('VmVendorPDF')){
vmError('vmPdf: For the pdf, you must install the tcpdf library at '.JPATH_VM_LIBRARIES.DS.'tcpdf');
return 0;
}
$pdf = new VmVendorPDF;
//$pdf = new VmVendorPDF();
$pdf->setHeaderFont(Array('freesans', '', 8 ));
$pdf->SetFont('freesans', '', 10);
$pdf->setFooterFont(Array('freesans', '', 10 ));
$pdf->AddPage();
$pdf->PrintContents(vmText::_('COM_VIRTUEMART_PDF_SAMPLEPAGE'));
$pdf->Output("vminvoice_sample.pdf", 'I');
JFactory::getApplication()->close();
}I will make a proper description later.
Thank you for this great solution, helped me a lot with vm3 (It's a bit annoying that vm3 still doesnt support multi-language invoices)
Anyway, i'm having a different issue now - the page is being displayed in LTR, and i need it in RTL (arabic/hebrew). How can i turn it over?
Thanks
