UTF-8 characters not properly "handled" in PDF packing slip.

[lat9]

A Swedish client has expressed a desire to use this plugin (downloaded from the master branch on 2015-06-11). The site (Zen Cart v1.5.1, currently) has both the database (DB_CHARSET) and displayed (CHARSET) set for utf-8 characters.

When I print a PDF packing slip, the non-ASCII characters are garbled e.g.

Posten / DHL ServicePoint (Brev: Skickas med Posten till din brevlåda. Paket: Hämtas på närmaste utlämningsställe.

gets output as:

I haven't had a chance to investigate yet; just wanted to make sure the report is out there!

Based on the suggestion in this link (http://stackoverflow.com/questions/6334134/fpdf-utf-8-encoding-how-to), edit /YOUR_ADMIN/includes/classes/fpdf/fpdf.php starting at line 645:

if($txt!=='')
{

//-bof-20150611-lat9-Convert any UTF-8 characters for the print-out
if (CHARSET == 'utf-8') {
$txt = iconv('utf-8', 'cp1252', $txt);
}
//-eof-20150611-lat9
if($align=='R')

Thanks Cindy.. I'll make the change.. TRUTHFULLY the FPDF library needs to be updated.. I've tried to do this before, but was unsuccessful.. :(

From the little bit I read on the UTF-8 "issue", it wouldn't be corrected by going to an updated version, anyway!
