 Unicode 
Unicode 
There are a few fonts (added by default) that you can use in CSS formatting.  They are:
 
 Code Block
theme
serif, sans-serif, monospace, Courier, TimesRoman
 
For Unicode content, you can use the following fonts for Asian languages (i.e., Chinese, Traditional Chinese, Japanese, Korean):
 
 Code Block
STSong-Light, MSung-Light, HeiseiMin-W3,  HYGoThic-Medium
 
Note : "STSong-Light" gives the best result for Chinese; "MSung-Light" for Traditional Chinese; "HeiseiMin-W3" for Japanese; and "HYGoThic-Medium" for Korean.
 
 Code Block
*{font-family:HYGoThic-Medium;}
 
Example for adding non supported font:
Method 1: Add the following CSS into Export Form Email Tool > "Formatting (CSS)" field:
 
 Code Block
@font-face {
    src: url(http://localhost:8080/THSarabun.ttf);
    -fs-pdf-font-embed: embed;
    -fs-pdf-font-encoding: Identity-H;
}
*{font-family: 'TH SarabunPSK';}
Download the THSarabun.ttf font file and copy it to "[Tomcat Directory]/webapps/ROOT" folder.
Method 2: From Joget v6.0.16, it now supports adding additional font for datalist pdf export and FormPdfUtil by adding the font file to folder "/wflow/fonts" directory and configure the font in "fonts.csv" file in the same directory with format "font family name, file name, encoding". For the sample, kindly refer to the fonts.csv file.
