How to Display Chinese Characters Correctly in PDF Documents Using Apache FOP?

Apache FOP Chinese Character Display Issues

When using Apache FOP to print PDF documents, Chinese characters may appear as "####" despite having the necessary language files installed. This issue is caused by a lack of font support in the default configuration.

To resolve this issue, three steps are required:

Step 1: Specify Font Family in FO File

Indicate the desired font using the font-family property. For example:

博洛尼亚大学中国学生的毕业论文

Step 2: Configure Font Mapping in FOP's Configuration File

In fop.xconf, add font mappings to the font file:


  /path/to/SimSun.ttf

Or you can add a directory to map all fonts in that directory:

/path/to/Fonts

Step 3: Reference Configuration File

Use the -c option when calling FOP from the command line:

$ fop -c /path/to/fop.xconf input.fo input.pdf

From Java code, use setUserConfig().

Once all three steps are complete, Chinese characters should be displayed correctly in the PDF document.
