Russian characters in the pdf file is not displayed properly.

<apex:pagecontroller="myyController" extensions="Confirmation" action="{initConfirmation}" showHeader="false"

 sidebar="false" standardStylesheets="false" renderAs="pdf" contentType="utf-8">

    <apex:outputText value="{!cLetter}" escape="false"/>

</apex:page>

 

Now the 'cLetter' variable has a letter written in russian language, When the pdf file is opened, the russian characters are not displayed.

From the developer guide:

 

If the PDF fails to display all the characters, adjust the fonts in your CSS to use a font that supports your needs. For example:

<apex:page renderas="pdf">
<html>
  <head> 
    <style> body { font-family: Arial Unicode MS; } </style> 
  </head>
  This page is rendered as a PDF
</html>
</apex:page>
