Does it support non latin characters?

This is how it makes text with non latin characters. A required font is in the project folder and the font name is used in Styler options. How to fix it?

This is really a gofpdf question I think. I'm out of town without a computer now. If you don't get an answer by the time I get back, I'll look at it. After mid September...

here is a minimal example

The gist code is using the font Arial. I think you need a font that supports the glyphs needed for the language. Do you know of a font that does work? Not sure my code provides access to the "non standard fonts" as described below. Need some time to consider... But I thought I'd give you an update.

The Arial font I used supports glyphs of the needed language. If you need other font to try you could use this one https://github.com/googlefonts/AmaticSC/blob/master/fonts/ttf/AmaticSC-Regular.ttf It works with https://github.com/signintech/gopdf

Thanks. I finally got gofpdf to work with Russian (https://gist.github.com/mandolyte/8cfcf664567eb098e762c668dac16782). Now I'll see what needs to be with my code to enable this. I used the Helvetica 1251 font provided by the gofpdf project. Let me know if you see anything else about this problem that would help.

I have filed an issue with the blackfriday markdown parser project: #russross/blackfriday#569

Their parser accepts only []byte as input and I don't see any way to workaround this.

Better understanding of how to use the PDF generator to apply fonts, codepages and then to use those in this package resulted in a solution.

The README now documents (at the end) how to do it. And the cmd folder has a complete working example using Russian. The example code is russian.go
