    Description

      UTF-8 characters are exported as ? characters ( HTML works fine)

      The following warning is found in the logs

      WARN  impl.PdfExportImpl              - Starting with 1.5, XWiki uses the W
EB-INF/fonts/ directory as the font directory, and it should contain the FreeFont (http://sava
nnah.gnu.org/projects/freefont/) fonts. FOP cannot access this directory. If this is an upgrad
e from a previous version, make sure you also copy the WEB-INF/fonts directory from the new di
stribution package.

      The war file originates from 1.5RC1 so the WEB-INF/fonts directory is there

      Obviously the user running tomcat has access to that directory.

      Following this warning I have quite a few errors similar to

      ERROR autodetect.FontInfoFinder       - Unable to load font file: file:/usr/share/fonts/URW/p052024l.pfb. Reason: No PFM file was found for file:/usr/share/fonts/URW/p052024l.pfb
