We are having problems trying to get the Polish characters to display correctly in our account, which is created using FPDF. I'm not sure if this is FPDF or the font we are using that is causing the problem. UTF-8 is configured correctly on the server in both the PHP configuration and the MySQL configuration. All Polish characters are displayed on the website both on the text coming from the code and from the database.
In FPDF:
- Original text:

This happens with both the built-in Arial fonts and the Times. I built the Tellural font using the steps http://www.fpdf.org/en/tutorial/tuto7.htm . However, this does not fix the problem.
This font is Tellural.php and contains:
<?php

I also used http://acko.net/blog/ufpdf-unicode-utf-8-extension-for-fpdf/ , however this has no effect.
If you use PHP printing in any of the functions, for example Write () / Cell () Zażółć gęślą jaźń: it is displayed correctly, only in the invoice it is not displayed with the correct characters.
