It does not support Chinese and Arabic characters.

[gonzalezlrjesus]

I needed to create a document in pdf format with texts in different languages ​​(Chinese, Arabic). Although the Text component uses func (_m *Pdf) UnicodeTranslatorFromDescriptor(cpStr string) func(string) string function, it does not support Chinese or Arabic symbols, and converts them to points in the document created.

I tried to remove the UnicodeTranslatorFromDescriptor from the Text component but the chinese characters still not working. I found an issue thread on gofpdf that said that gofpdf doesn't support these languages. jung-kurt/gofpdf#59 (comment)

Code

m.Col(6, func() {
	m.Text("中文 Packages Report: Daily", props.Text{
		Top:   1,
		Align: consts.Center,
	})
	m.Text("Type: Small, Medium", props.Text{
		Top:   7,
		Align: consts.Center,
	})
})

Result

I don't know another way to add support to these characters.

jung-kurt/gofpdf can use special font to support chinese。

gofpdf supports UTF-8 TrueType fonts and “right-to-left” languages. Note that Chinese, Japanese, and Korean characters may not be included in many general purpose fonts. For these languages, a specialized font (for example, NotoSansSC for simplified Chinese) can be used.

I solve it. but I donot use github very well.I donot know how to use pr.
you can read me code https://github.com/Vale-sail/maroto to get idea.
