Cyrilic Letters not shown when renderAs "PDF" method used

I am novice to VP (no development background) use SF om MacOS.

 

I have prepared contract text (in Russian) attached to Opportunity with help of VP. When I have tested it in HTML everything looked fine.

 

However, when I have tried upload my file to PDF all my cyryllic letters disappeared. Anybody knows the issue?

Again, please look at the link I provided.  Your example does not suggest that you read that page.  There is a code example in the documentation that should help you under the words:
If the PDF fails to display all the characters, adjust the fonts in your CSS to use a font that supports your needs.

 

I think all you need is a font that supports Unicode characters.

On the help page for PDFs there is a mention about what to do if your characters aren't displaying.

The one can test the problem quite easy:

 

<apex:page renderAs="PDF">

</apex:page>

 

The result is next:

 You are 100% right and I did not pay attention to what you have said. Now then with the code:

 

 

<head>
<style type="text/css">
body {font-family:"Arial Unicode MS" "sans-serif";}
</style>
</head>

 

 Everything works fine. Thank you for help. 

 

BTW. Do you know any trick for Serif fonts?

Using Arial Unicode MS we can get the Russian character, I try using <b> or Strong or other style format to display BOLD letter inside the template. but

looks like we are getting Regular letter only

Is there a way to display BOLD letter or Italic in a Russian template

 

Any other Font-Family, which can support Cyrillic , Russian and Greek letter and BOLD letter, appreciate any input
