Description
The sales PDFs use the Libertine font which is not a unicode font and therefore it does not have full support of characters. It does not support Arabic, Russian, Greek, Indian or Thai alphabets and many more. For example it does not support the Indian rupee currency symbol ( ₹ ) and displays tofu boxes instead, which makes the PDF invoice totals illegible.
It's better if we use a unicode font to support more writing systems and characters. So I've added the open source GNU Free Font which supports much more writing systems.
