Enable extra character encodings for PrettyPDF

PrettyPDF supports other character encoded websites starting from version 1.3. Including these extra font definitions will however, bloat the component too much. Therefor you can download the additional character encoded font definitions.

The zip file contains several encodings, which are:

• cp1250 (Central Europe)
• cp1251 (Cyrillic)
• cp1252 (Western Europe)
• cp1254 (Turkish)
  
• ISO-8859-2 (Central Europe)
• ISO-8859-5 (Cyrillic)
• ISO-8859-9 (Turkish)
  

More can be added when requested.

Installation instructions

• After downloading the zip-file, unzip the contents in a temporary directory.
• Choose the encoding your site is using. This can be verified by opening up your site in a webbrowser, and look near the top of the source for a line like: "<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=windows-1251" />"
  In this example it is windows-1251, which is the Cyrillic encoding for Russian characters.
• Upload the directory named "font.cp1251" for the example used here, to the PrettyPDF directory: <joomla-installation>/administrator/components/com_jreprettypdf
  Make sure the font directory will be: <joomla-installation>/administrator/components/com_jreprettypdf/font.cp1251
• Now go to the PrettyPDF configuration screen for the 'PDF Generation Configuration' and select for the 'Character encoding' the required encoding.
• Save the configuration.
• Make sure you clear the cache if enabled, otherwise the change can not be seen.
