Persian characters in pdf view

alirezaS

Hi,all.
I'm using birt 2.3.2 and I have a very confusing problem with it.I've build a report contains some persian strings.When I try to preview it in pdf from all-in-one there is no problem and everything is so nice,BUT when I try to deploy the report in my j2ee application and run report with a pdf result,some characters are incorrect.
Does anyone know how I can solve this problem or at least how I can search for the root cause of this problem????

Tnx all

I assume the tomcat installation is on a separate machine?
If so can you install tomcat locally to test?

tnx for your reply,first of all.
I run the report in JBoss.
I've focused more.I've found that in design time and also view in web there is the same problem.The generated pdf file don't show special persian characters which are not same as arabic character.
(There are some common character in arabi and farsi(persian) which has different shapes in two languages and also farsi has 4 more characters than arabic.It seems that birt consider them as arabic)

tnx again for your attention

Would you please tell me how you resolve your problem?I also have this problem with some persian character.
When I see the report in PDF format some character(گ، پ ،چ ) showed separated and these character can't attach to the word such as (پ یش).

Thanks in advance
