            Description

            TCPDF is used when generated mailing label and user badge of CiviEvent. I found the support issue is because tcpdf only setup for english user.

            The first part of patch is for font name. Setting up the font for better support of unicode / utf8. This setting come from example of tcpdf: http://www.tcpdf.org/examples/example_038.phps

            I'm pretty sure this patch also works to english user. And the patch won't embbed font into pdf. Client will automatic download font after opening the pdf by acrobat reader. But may need further test to see if setting font by this will cause problem.

            The second part of patch is install the missing font from original tcpdf package.
