A page content that has the following markup (with special characters):
test ÁRVÍZTŰRŐ _test ÁRVÍZTŰRŐ_ *test ÁRVÍZTŰRŐ*
Following the steps suggested in the following documentation resolve the character problems when exported to PDF format (installed the verdana.ttf):
However, the bold and italic fonts does not take effect (see screenshot: result1.pdf). Installing the Verdana Bold instead later, would change all the fonts in bold form when coverting to PDF instead (see screenshot: result2.pdf).
It appears that the fop.xml only takes up one font at a time even if there are multiple fonts format(see screenshot: result3.jpg) being installed:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<fop>
<renderers>
<renderer mime="application/pdf">
<fonts>
<font metrics-url="file:/${confluence.home}/fonts/verdanab-metrics.xml" embed-url="file:/${confluence.home}/fonts/verdanab.ttf" kerning="yes">
<font-triplet name="verdanab" style="normal" weight="normal"/>
<font-triplet name="verdanab" style="normal" weight="bold"/>
<font-triplet name="verdanab" style="italic" weight="normal"/>
<font-triplet name="verdanab" style="italic" weight="bold"/>
</font>

[CONFSERVER-10048] Only a single style of custom font is supported for PDF export
Is supporting multiple font styles and multiple font faces different from a technical perspective?
I've created CONF-30779 to request support for multiple font types.
I was told by the support team that:
There doesn't seem to be a way to use multiple imported fonts in Confluence, as the *.ttc collections can only contain different formats of the same font type. You should be able to add Monospace formatting to your *.ttc file, though.
So .ttc isn't actually helpful here and there's still no way to add multiple fonts to PDF export.
@Patryk Kotrasiński : which font did you finally end up with? I have tried to bundle the DejaVuSans fonts but failed with FontForge (too many glyffs).
I am still having issues in rendering greek symbols and other symbols which are proposed by the "insert/symbols" in confluence page edit.
Hi.
Try Fontforge utility (free).
It enables you to convert multiple *.ttf (True Type Font) to single *.ttc (True Type Collection) with can contain multiple types of the same font.
TTC is supported by Confluence - this is how I dealt with this problem.

added a comment - Can this fop.xml be edited by hand? Could we upload all variants of a font and change the "name" property in this fop.xml and have it work?

Hi, Paul.

Hi All
Given that the fix for this issue is to provide a different font for rendering PDF's I'm going to close this issue out as a duplicate of CONF-30779. I would urge you to comment and vote on this issue.
