DOMPDF problem with Cyrillic characters

In your html, use this style :

<style type="text/css">
* {
  /*font-family: Helvetica, sans-serif;*/
  font-family: "DejaVu Sans", sans-serif;
}
</style>

if you will use DejaVu font you can see cyrillic characters

The DejaVu TrueType fonts have been pre-installed to give dompdf decent Unicode character coverage by default. To use the DejaVu fonts reference the font in your stylesheet, e.g. body { font-family: DejaVu Sans; } (for DejaVu Sans).

DOMPDF include DejaVu font be default

    $html = "<html><head><style>body { font-family: DejaVu Sans }</style>".
        "<body>А вот и кириллица</body>".
        "</head></html>";

    $dompdf = new \DOMPDF();
    $dompdf->load_html($html);
    $dompdf->render();
    echo file_put_contents('cyrillic.pdf', $dompdf->output());

You can also set change def for font by default in dompdf_config.inc.php

def("DOMPDF_DEFAULT_FONT", "DejaVu Sans");

Problem is with fonts default dompdf uses (that is it doesn't have all unicode characters, whick are by now over 5000). Usually arialuni.ttf is what you need. You can download localized russian version at http://chernev.ru/dompdf.rar {broken link}
