when i tried to put in hebrew, then it failed. can i share a screen shot? this works:

from fpdf import FPDF

pdf = FPDF()
pdf.add_page()
pdf.set_font("Arial", size = 15)
pdf.cell(200, 10, 
         txt = 'abc', 
         ln = 1, align = 'C')
pdf.output("GFG.pdf")   

but when i change to txt = 'אבג' then i get an error:

---------------------------------------------------------------------------
UnicodeEncodeError                        Traceback (most recent call last)
<ipython-input-21-cb3542cc6029> in <module>()
      7          txt = 'אבג',
      8          ln = 1, align = 'C')

   1171                 p = zlib.compress(p)
   1172             else:
