Hi all,

We are getting some warnings when creating (excel) reports that include Chinese characters. It seems the font cannot be found.

The reports are created fine, so we are just wondering if we should just ignore the warnings, or how can we fix it.

Ignition version: 8.1.12  
Reportung module version: 6.1.12

Thanks!  
Francisco

It’s not something you can fix, and if the reports are displaying fine feel free to ignore it.

The library we use for the reporting engine doesn’t handle characters outside of 8-bit ASCII very gracefully, and this is an example of that.

Thank you, Kathy. We will do that then.
