 * Hey Madous,
 * My apologies, I cant say I have tested this with any other language other than
   english. The system has been known to break when ‘feign’ characters are entered
   into the column titles. At this stage I unfortunately dont have a fix for this
   at this time.
 * I wish I had better news for you.
 * Sorry again

 * Hello Ash, and thank you for the fast response
 * I believe you have done an amazing job on this plugin, and i am very grateful
   you giving it away for free. I hope it will grow even more, for it to worth more
   of your time.
 * Ill try tinker with it, maybe add charset=UTF-8 or possibly could be just a font
   issue, arial is the most multi language compatible. If i find something ill share.
 * Once again thank you
    Best Regards Madous

 * Madous,
 * Cheers for the kind words 😉
 * If your going to tinker then heres a head start:
    - The default PDF theme is already in UTF-8 and using Arial
    - The admin area follows the general styling of the wordpress admin, apart from
      the invoice values itself, which are matched to the output of the PDF, being
      Arial
    - The issue in the admin has stemmed from the javascript as I use the column
      names to define the values in the totals. With the column names being turned
      into javascript variables, the script doesn’t like it.
 * I’ve had a few ideas as to how to get around it, but haven’t really had the time
   to investigate it properly, so if you do work out the solution to it, I’d be 
   very grateful.
 * Cheers,
 * Ash

 * Hi Ash,
    Thanks a lot on your work for making an awesome plugin. I had problem
   with the generated pdf in other alphabets(languages) like Cyrillic (the pdf was
   empty/full with non understandable letters). You are using the standard fPDF 
   class on the plugin for generating the PDFs(doesn’t support unicode characters).
   You should be using at least tfPDF – [http://www.fpdf.org/en/script/script92.php](http://www.fpdf.org/en/script/script92.php)–
   modified fPDF class which support Unicode characters. While using the tfPDF you
   won’t be needing iconv(), and should be removed from the template.
 * Hope the fix will be applied to the official release channel so other users don’t
   have problems.
 * If you need anything – I’m here. 🙂
 * Thanks

 * Hi Ash,
 * You are using the standard fPDF class on the plugin for generating the PDFs (
   doesn’t support unicode characters).
 * I have the same problem with the french accent ex: é,è,ê,î do you plan to correct
   this problem soon?
 * Thanks
