Hi, is there a new release planned 3.4 / 3.5 onwards?
Thanks you all for your great work so far!

That's not the most helpful if descriptions - is there anything in particular that doesn't work in 3.5, is there an error message?

I couldn't agree with Davo more. HTML always causes complex and unexpected scenarios. Specially, when copying content from MS Word to Moodle HTML editor, I strongly recommend using some sort of online tools like http://html-cleaner.com/ to clean the HTML first.

Thanks for the update Wiebke - unfortunately HTML allows for some very complex scenarios (and browsers have had years of practice at outputting something sensible with even the most mangled of content) - the TCPDF library (which does the actual PDF generation) is never going to be able to cope with every possible scenario that could occur; we just have to rely on it coping with most scenarios in a reasonable way.

Hi Davo, thanks for your quick answer - the same day! The problem was, and I'm only mentioning it here because it might happen also to other users who create their own content, that somebody inserted a table that crashed the page layout. Funny thing was that the epub export did work, and I only noticed the page explosion after re-converting the epub to pdf with an external tool - uuurgh Thank you anyway! Great plugin.

Hi Wiebke - I don't know the answer to that problem off the top of my head. It sounds like somewhere in the content there is a 'font' tag or a 'style' tag with a 'font' style within it. There isn't much else I can offer, other than to suggest you look through each of the pages and remove any unwanted tags (by using the 'view html' button in the text editor.

Dear Davo,

thank you for providing this plugin which is very helpful in online teaching. At the moment we are facing a technical problem with one wiki which cannot be solved by our local development team. The wiki shows the following error when trying to export a pdf with the plugin. "Fehler: TCPDF ERROR: Empty font family". Have you heard about this before and could give us a hint where to look at? The error cannot be reproduced in a freshly opened wiki activity so I assume it is to with some content, formatting mistakes?

Thank you in advance.
Wiebke

PS. We are using Moodle 3.2 and the latest version of your plugin.

Hi Amaia - it's not quite clear what you're asking for. I've not developed a specific Moodle 3.2 version of this plugin (so there's nothing to offer previews of). At a guess, there is probably no reason not to use the 3.1 version, but I've not done any formal testing to find out.

Thank Davo for the suggestion of switching to a different font. I have followed the instructions given by Ciao in https://moodle.org/mod/forum/discuss.php?d=237702 to install a new font into the folder: my_moodle_path/lib/tcpdf/fonts. I also changed the font name of 'FreeSerif' to 'DroidSansFallback' in Line 73 of my_moodle_path\lib\pdflib.php. Chinese characters show perfectly now. Thanks!

I've not tested, but I assume it is related to the font used to do the export not having any suitable characters in it. If you look in the code, you should be able to switch to using a different font (I don't have the code in front of me now, but if you search for 'setfont' you should find it - the available fonts are in lib/tcpdf/font, again, off the top of my head, without being able to check right now).

I'm trying to export a WiKi in Chinese, but the characters always display as ? marks. Does anybody know how to get Chinese characters to show up in the PDF?
