PDF output wrong characters/character set

[uschmi]

I´m using dompdf on Joomla 3.9 / Fabrikar 3.9.
I have to output text in several languages to PDF files.
This works great for German Umlaute, but not for several other languages like Roman, Bulgarian...
I already tried with utf8_encode($myOutput), but with no success.

In an old installation (Joomla 3.4, Fabrikar 3.5) this works great for all languages, but unfortunately I don´t remember if I did some tricks to get it working...

I really appreciate help!

thanks @startpoint, but this didn´t work for me.
The only working option so far is to include this Dejavu font into the pdf via custom css file. But this significantly increases the file size

Dejavu is coming with domPDF, you must address it (or an other utf8 font) via custom css

Yes troester, this already works for me. But including this font into the pdf significantly increases file size!

So all fonts but the mentioned (non utf8) ones are embedded and increasing the file size.
