Raw message 

Hey Tomas.

It seems that the font we use makes a difference.

Change line 59 of the 
/usr/share/grase/www/radmin/classes/PDFLabels.class.php file to be as below
     private $Font_Name = 'freesans';

You'll also need to get the freesans font files. I'll include them in 
the next release. However if you download the tcpdf library and copy the 
whole fonts directory to /usr/share/grase/tcpdf/fonts you'll have the 
needed files.

Since writing the PDF code, I've actually stopped using it. I was 
planning on making it really customisable, but no longer have a need. I 
now export the batches with the CSV export, then have a funky script 
that edits a SVG image and exports it for me. The kind of vouchers I now 
print are too complicated for a PHP PDF library, hence the scripted SVG 
images.
