Hello,
I tested your RTF Generator and found it very usefull! Thanks!
I use it together with php scripts and a PostgreSQL DB.
However, when my boss asked me to use it for more "exotic" languages like greek, russian and others the output was only a mixture of strange characters and question marks.
My DB is in UTF-8 and I use utf8_decode() for the values retreived from my queries.
Now, is there a way to fix that output problem?
Many thanks in advance!

i have had similar issues. Try to save things in Chinese. But it doesn't work. Have tried http://latex2rtf.sourceforge.net/rtfspec_6.html, but it is still not successful.

best regards

charlie

You have to change the charset value in source_rtf.php

It is set to 0 by default, which is ANSI. Here is the complete table:

Wow, thanks for clarifying those! I would have NEVER guessed that CP1251 is 204 :)
