I think I know where the problem is - the font file used (I believe vera.ttf, according to statistics.php) is not supporting these characters. Couldn't there be used FreeSans.ttf e.g.? It properly supports these characters. I tried to simply copy it to fonts/ folder and changing 'vera.ttf' to 'FreeSans.ttf' but it's still not working. |

I changed every mention of vera.ttf to FreeSans.ttf in following files: no success. :/ Anyone? |
 |
Can you attach your survey .lss file please? |
|
|
Sure, here it is. Don't expect anything extraordinary, just one question with some strings to check encoding. |
|
|
Setting it once in config.php (by copying the line from config-defaults.php) is enough. |

I think you included wrong file since your statistics_function.php is almost (for some spaces) identical to mine. So no, this way it is not working. BUT ! I did what you wrote about config.php and it WORKED! I don't know why I haven't thought of it before - settings are used from config.php, not config-defaults.php Do you think it would be possible to use FreeSans as a default font instead of vera for future versions of LimeSurvey? --- UNTIL THIS IS FIXED FOR GOOD, HERE IS WORKAROUND I USED --- Save FreeSans.ttf (included) in <lime_dir>/fonts/ and paste this "$chartfontfile='FreeSans.ttf';" (without outer quotes) somewhere convenient into <lime_dir>/config.php --- END --- |
