Example of parameters all activated.

International fonts

If text of exported events does not show up in the final PDF, Fonts may be the source of the problem. For that, you can activate a international font, which handle CJK characters, named "Noto".

Due to their size, fonts are not bundled with PyMISP. You can download them, by following next steps :

Manual fonts install on a MISP instance, connected in SSH :

cd /usr/local/lib/python3.6/dist-packages/pymisp/tools/ git clone https://github.com/MISP/pdf_fonts

Then you can activate the option by filling the following parameter : Leave blank if you don't want to use internationalization fonts.

If "Noto" is not fine for you (e.g. you want to use Arial Unicode, etc.) you can give as a parameter the font to use. Be sure the font is only contained in one TTF.

Fill this parameter, with the font's TTF's absolute path, as follow : Note that if you give a custom fonts, bold/italic/special styles won't be used in the final PDF. Leave blank if you don't want to use your custom font.
