How to change encoding in phpword?

Question

PHP

I generate at first word a file, then in pdf. Questions instead of Russian letters. I so understood it is necessary to make something with the coding. On the Internet, it was advised to comment out the encoding in the section.php setting.php file, insert the header with the encoding. But nothing changes. Tell me comrades?

<?
require 'vendor/autoload.php';

 $phpWord->setDefaultFontName('Arial');
$phpWord->setDefaultFontSize(14);

$phpWord = new  \PhpOffice\PhpWord\PhpWord();
  
$document = $phpWord->loadTemplate('template1.docx');

$document->setValue('name', $name);

require __DIR__.'/vendor/dompdf/vendor/autoload.php';

use PhpOffice\PhpWord\IOFactory;
use PhpOffice\PhpWord\Settings;

// Make sure you have `dompdf/dompdf` in your composer dependencies.
Settings::setPdfRendererName(Settings::PDF_RENDERER_DOMPDF);
// Any writable directory here. It will be ignored.
Settings::setPdfRendererPath('dompdf/');

$phpWord = IOFactory::load('template1.docx', 'Word2007');
$phpWord->save('document.pdf', 'PDF');

     
 ?>

Answer 1

iconv(mb_detect_encoding($text, mb_detect_order(), true), "UTF-8", $text);

Answer 2

The problem may be not so much in phpword, but in rendering (dompdf, TCPDF). Using dompdf as an example, a possible solution is: use a DejaVu family font
$phpWord = new \PhpOffice\PhpWord\PhpWord();
$phpWord->setDefaultFontName('dejavu sans');
\PhpOffice\PhpWord\Settings::setPdfRendererPath('./dompdf');
\PhpOffice\PhpWord\Settings::setPdfRendererName('DomPDF');
