PDF export of asian characters doesn't work correctly.  This has been
verified with Hangul (Korean), Japanese, and Chinese text.

The PDF seems to have the correct text data, but all asian characters render as square boxes in the PDF.
** You can copy the text out of the PDF and paste it in a text editor, so this looks more like a font issue.

See the attached screen-shot.

To reproduce:
1) Add three students with names 이름 (Korean), 名前 (Japanse), 名称 (Chinese).
2) Save a PDF report that includes these students (ex: create some absenses in a section for these students and view the absences for section report)
