How do we get cyrillic or other characters to work in our environment.

Right now if someone types cyrillic data into our database it is stored in cyrillic on the table. But when it is sent to prince it is all escaped and comes out as:


&1234;&1423;&1522; etc...

Any ideas how we can incorporate these characters into our documents?

Thanks

Prince should have no trouble handling Cyrillic or other characters that can be found in the available fonts.

It looks as if somewhere in your database or processing code your data is being incorrectly escaped or unescaped. When you say it is stored in Cyrillic in the table, do you mean it is stored as literal Cyrillic characters in a UNICODE encoding such as UTF-8 or UTF-16? How are you pulling the data out of the table? What does the document look like just before you give it to Prince?
