Re: [Web-erp-developers] Multi-language PDF files

We can only do so much, especially at a time.  What we are doing goes a
long, long way.  Sounds like pfds will likely have trouble and they would
have to find some other reporting solution or at least modify the existing
class.  I'm thinking the rest of the system will handle Chinese when we're
done although it probably won't be too pretty.  The question is whether all
the others handle it any better...
