Problem with character encoding (?) [in app & in designer] [Solved] [message #1791437]

Hi,
at first i need to say that BIRT is awesome project :)
but
I have problem with - i guess - character encoding(to be exact with Polish characters) in designer and in our application which is using birt as PDF rendering engine. In our application it reveals by switching our national signs like ę,ś,ć with ASCII(?) ones like e,s,c and so on. In BIRT designer after rendering to PDF our national characters are correct but ... they looks wired :) - like from different font.

You can see what i mean on examples that i had rendered from designer and from our app
1'st one app-pdf.png is from app :)
2'nd one designer-pdf.png is from BIRT designer

My fontConfig,xml

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<font>
    <font-aliases>
        <mapping name="serif" font-family="Arial" />
        <mapping name="sans-serif" font-family="Courier" />
        <mapping name="monospace" font-family="Helvetica" />
        <mapping name="cursive" font-family="Courier" />
        <mapping name="fantasy" font-family="Courier" />
    </font-aliases>

    <composite-font name="all-fonts" font-family="Arial">
    </composite-font>

    <font-paths>    
        <path path="/usr/share/fonts/msttcore" />
    </font-paths>

    <font-encodings>
        <encoding font-family="Arial" encoding="UTF-8" />
        <encoding font-family="Courier" encoding="UTF-8" />
        <encoding font-family="Helvetica" encoding="UTF-8" />
    </font-encodings>
    
</font>

Hi sebestian, we are also trying to deploy birt.war to weblogic12c server and our software setup is

BIRT version: 4.6.0
JDK: 1.8
AS: weblogic 12.2.1.3
Databse: Oracle 12g

I am able to insall the birt.war thro the admin console, but get errors when I try to "start -> Servicing all requests".

java.nio.file.InvalidPathException: Illegal char <:> at index 2: \C:\Oracle\Middleware\Oracle_Home\user_projects\domains\<DomainName>\servers\Managed_A\tmp\_WL_user\birt\oj5znf\war\logs\org.eclipse.datatools.connectivity.oda_2021_12_02_15_19_30.log.lck

Could you please share the steps to successfully deploy to the AS? Any help is appreciated.

Thx
