Hi,

We're currently evaluating EO.Pdf to replace our current solution ( a competitor I won't name, but which is extremely memory intensive, even when working with FileStream overloads... ).

We're converting html files to PDF with EO.Pdf.HtmlToPdf.ConvertUrl.
It works great, but emoticons show up as ▢ or ◻
Other unicode characters such as ⛵ or ⚓ show up fine though.

Many thanks in advance for your help.

Hi,

Please check how you render the emoticons. If you are using a special font, please make sure that font is installed on your server, or is referenced explicitly in your HTML through @font-face CSS directive. The PDF will render the wrong code if it can not load the font data.

Please keep in mind that the font needs to be installed on the server where HTML to PDF converter runs. Not on the client computer where the PDF file is viewed.

Thanks!
