   I've Chartdirector installed with my mydbr. But we found that although chinese character is properly showed in the report but they are showed as "......." in the generated png chart in the same report.

   Please kindly help.

   Make sure that the font used in the sever includes chinese characters. myDBR by default uses Arial, you can change the default font in user/defaults.php to something that includes chinese characters.

   If you cannot change fonts in the server, you can use SVG charts.

   Thanks. But all my Mydbr reports are able to show Chinese character, it's only the generated mydbr chart cannot show chinese (utf8 unicode character) , is it related to fonts?

   Please advise.

   Yes, it is the fonts in the server that is causing this.

   The reports are shown in the client web browser with client fonts. PNG-charts, on the other hand, are generated in the server and if you want to show chinese characters, you should use font which does includes chinese characters.

   If you do not want to change fonts in the server, you can always use SVG-charts, which use fonts from the cliient and in addition to that, look better than PNG charts.
