Description
Exported pdf of a Unicode hebrew text shows:
"הקבוצה ש×oe
הגר"
instead of:
הקבוצה של הגר
...I have no idea how to deal with stuff like this, and i know this is usually a hassle. I'll gladly test & comment back :)
#1
Thanks for the report, this is similar to another issue below with the pdf language output, im not overly fermiliar with coding with language support but perhaps all I need to do in this case is wrap the output portion of the pdf class with the t(); function
Im also thinking that the the plain text was possibly not using the t(); function where it is added to the theme_table function, but it could also be the html2pdf library. If you can figure out a patch let me know I will look into this

From what i'm able to understand the html2pdf library does support RTL languages (iso-885906 for hebrew) - but does not support UTF-8 encoding. shame.
I am in no means capable of creating a patch, and as a matter of fact i tried to install one a few days ago but couldn't even manage to do that :)
I'm tracking...
thanks.

Unfortunatly im not very aware of the internal workings of html2fpdf and I have been looking for a better alternative to solve issues such as this and also to allow for greater customization.
