In Migradoc 6.0.0-preview-3, some unicode characters in PDF file appear as not accented in Linux.
To to reproduce, run in Debian in ASP.NET MVC controller


Code:
      static ReportTemplateBase()
      {
        GlobalFontSettings.FontResolver = new NewFontResolver();
      }
   
      var textFrame = Section.AddTextFrame();
      var font = new Font("Arial", 12);
      var par = textFrame.AddParagraph();
      par.Format.Font = font;
      par.AddFormattedText("õäöüÕÄÖÜ", font);


If running in Debian Linux, äöü are replaced with unaccented characters. Output is


Quote:
õaouÕAOU

If running from Visual Studio IDE in Windows, output is correct:

Quote:
õäöüÕÄÖÜ

Create your own FontResolver and include a TTF file that has all the characters you need (this can be Arial as it works under Windows).

Hi!

Where to find replacement font files for Arial and Times New Roman fonts for Linux containing õäöü characters? Why õ character is rendered properly? Is õ included in PDFSharp?

Looked into NewFontResolver source code. It searches font files in Linux directories.

I copied .ttf files to /usr/share/fonts/fontsforpdfcreation directory and it looks like this solved the issue.
Is this OK?
