PDF output from QPrinter cuts last letter of words if the html characters are generated with cyrillic support

mrjj

Ah, that sounds like thats the issue and it then will "page break" in other places as
expected.
Im wondering if the HTML code contains anything
"fixed size"-ish that dont scale so well between screen and printer DPI.

mardzo

@mrjj well the html table has a fixed width=440 and style = "margin-top:50px; margin-right:20px; " Im a bit new at QT and i dont understand how the latin letters are displayed correctly and cyrillic at the end of a word are the only one that are cut off

mrjj

@mardzo
Yes that is a bit odd. But cyrillic is another font, i assume?
So it could react differently being upscaled/created for the printer context.
A printer has many more DPI than the screen so some scaling is involved as else
it would just be ultra tiny. ( when printed)
Could also be a bug in the font handling so the actual size of the cyrillic is reported incorrectly.

Is it possivble to get the actual HTML that you print?
( so I can try it)

mardzo

@mrjj I create it dynamically so i cant send it all. I tried so save it all in a txt file, but the cyrilic characters are replaced with ??????. here is a small snippet with cyrilic characters in it. Im sorry for the bad formatting

alt text

Is that ok test case?

mardzo

@mrjj yes, this is okay but what happens when you try to set style="font-size : 6pt;" on the table and export it as pdf? Does it cut the last letter of the cyrillic words? I edited the previously posted html

mrjj

Hi
Super.
style="font-size : 6pt;"
As set stylesheet on it or?

I will retry with the new html.

mardzo

@mrjj yes, try with the exact new html i posted

@mrjj yes your project works fine i have tried it and got a good pdf :). But did u notice that when u input the html in the qtextedit in the ui it alters the html adding spans. paragrarphs etc.? Do u suggest for me to change my html table based on the changes the QT Designer made to it?

mardzo

Bloody hell! I figured it out. The only thing i needed to do was to put <span></span> inside the table cells. Thanks @mrjj for your help.

mrjj

@mardzo
Super. Good work. Well i was wondering what the difference was between screen
and pdf and you found it :)
