**As** an international user
**I want to** export a PDF in my language
**so that** I don't have missing glyphs in the PDF

**Problem:**

As OpenProject can be used in many languages, the PDF export currently cannot, as it shows missing glyphs as \[\]\[\]\[\] or some characters not at all. Same situation for emojis and many mathematical symbols.

**Acceptance criteria**

* PDF export supports character sets most used with OpenProject

* PDF export supports (most) emojis


**Technical notes**

* This affects all PDF exports (Timesheet, Report, Gantt, ...)

* Most font formats in common use (OpenType, TrueType) are limited to about 64K uniquely encoded glyphs. Therefore it is impossible to encode all about 150K current Unicode characters in a single font, or even in two fonts.

* Include more font files in OpenProject

* Must be compatible with prawnPDF gem and most used PDF readers

* _italic_ is not supported by all writing systems


**Out of scope**

* uploading custom user font files

* supporting ALL unicode characters


## Notes to QA:

For a quick start into testing have a look at this wp :)
