PDF printing German umlauts

Markus KuehnMay 16 2007 — edited May 16 2007
Hello all,

I'm trying to use the new "Report Query" and "Report Layout" feature. First of all I have to say that my PDF printing setup works generally. My problem has nothing to do with that. Here's what I'm trying to do and what my problem is:

I'm using a report query on a table which has data with german umlauts (äöüÄÖÜ) and special characters (ß) in it. Trying to print that report with the standard layout works. I see my german nls characters. If I try to apply a XSL-FO stylesheet I get # signs for my german nls characters. I played with the encoding of my stylesheet but that has no effect. TRANSLATE ... USING or CONVERT hasn't any effect either. I also changed the PlsqlNLSLanguage setting in my dads.conf to GERMAN_GERMANY, but that also has no effect. Now I'm pretty lost.

Anybody out there has some tips on using german special characters in report queries with own written XSL-FO stylesheets ?

Regards Markus
