Hello,

I have got the module 'base_report_unicode ' and i have installed it in my database but i have got the Arabic characters in black block letter means not seen in report pdf so any extra configuration (or package) which i am missing so can you tell me remaining things?

So i am able to test it.

Thanks.

Thanks beroz, that solved my question.

Thank you Beroz,

Its working now, very nice and systematic documentation. I guess Reportlab people as well as OpenERP should consider these modification in their next releases.

Keep up good work

this is marked as solved, but ive been trying to get it working for days now.

if i install the module base_report_unicode manually by copying it to the addons and installing it via openerp client, it installs fine. i can see arabic letters instead of black squares. only when i print-screen the pdf report, its written from left to right.

if i try the other method posted on http://brain.centrivision.com/enterprise_applications/openerp/arabic_support , same thing happens they're left to right :S (thats even without the module being installed) only this is worse. the last letter of the first word becomes the first letter of the second word and vice versa.

this is really frustrating, help anyone

I installed base _report_unicode v1.1 and I configured the locale to ar_SA, then I followed the steps on http://brain.centrivision.com/enterprise_applications/openerp/arabic_support
one by one, eventually it worked with me. I do not know exactly what you been missing, I hope these can help.

Thanks

Any updates on above subject. It's not working for OpenSUSE 11.1 and OpenERP 5.0.11.

I tried it with openerp and it is working fine !!
