title: How to set encoding type for birt reports
body: <p>I have a database with values in Hebrew. When I generate the BIRT report, the characters are coming out in different symbols. I believe the problem is the encoding type is incorrect and I would like to set it to 'UTF-8'. </p>
  
  <p>I looked in the fontsConfig.xml but I don't quite understand it. Does anyone know if we can send in a parameter to BIRT to change the encoding type if the client is using the Hebrew database?</p>
  
  <p>Thanks</p>
