To export a Confluence page written in another language, you will first need to install the necessary font for that language. This will basically involve uploading a font file to Confluence.

Here are the exact steps on how to do this:

1. Find the appropriate font file

Windows users

All font files in Windows are stored in a directory called 

C:\WINDOWS\Fonts
Unix users

All font files in Unix are stored in the 

/usr/share/fonts

Microsofts True Type core fonts such as Verdana can be downloaded here http://corefonts.sourceforge.net/

2. Copy the font file into a temporary folder (for example a folder on the Desktop)

3. Navigate to the Administration > PDF Language Support screen and upload the file you copied in step one.

Click Install and that's it!

Please note the only font files supported are true type fonts and true type collections (file extensions are *.ttf and *.ttc).

We recommend you to use Unicode font Verdana for correct character encoding and exporting to pdf.
