    While using the plugin to generate invoices and packing slips, I noticed that Traditional Chinese characters are not displayed correctly. Some characters appear as garbled text or unrecognizable symbols, making it difficult to read the information on the documents. This issue affects the readability of invoices and packing slips for customers using Traditional Chinese in Taiwan or Hong Kong.

    Hi @jjk20033,

    Some languages (Japanese, Chinese, etc.) are not supported by the default font included with the plugin, in this case a custom font is required. Here you can read how to install a custom font:?Using custom fonts.

    That said, we have created a language pack with the font?Arial Unicode MS. This is a font that is very complete in terms of character sets and should cover the most common?Chinese, Japanese & Korean?characters:?woocommerce-pdf-ips-unicode.1.0.1.zip

    You can install it like any other plugin, it’s good old plug ‘n play ??

    Just a little note: this is quite a big zip, because of the high number of characters, so it?takes?a while to upload. Also, the first PDF you create may take a while because it needs to install the font on your server first. All following PDFs will be much faster, though.
