[Koha-devel] Label and barcode generator broken

[Joe Atzberger]

The label generator appears to have character-set limitations.  It may work
fine for a given set of data and drop errors on another.  To me it looks
like we haven't found a truly UTF-8 compatible perl module for generating
PDFs.  I suspect such a thing may not yet exist.
