## Description

This class is a modified version of FPDF that adds UTF-8 support. Moreover, it embeds only the necessary parts of the fonts that are used in the document, making the file size much smaller than if the whole fonts were embedded. These features were originally developed for the mPDF project.
To use a Unicode font in your script, pass the font file name as third parameter of `AddFont()` and `true` as fourth parameter. The font may be located either in the font/unifont directory or directly in the system font folder (in case the `_SYSTEM_TTFONTS` constant is defined). The package ships with the DejaVu font family.
Note: this class requires the mbstring extension.
