 When exporting a PDF using our PDF printer, the font quality is noticeably
 bad. I guess this is a problem with our font management in the app_server,
 but I'm not entirely sure whether it's because of something not yet
 implemented, or because there is something wrong.

 Furthermore, some non-ASCII characters (like the EUR currency symbol) is
 incorrect with some fonts (Arial, copied from a Windows installation).

 At first, I assumed that our "Deja Vu Sans" font is to blame for this, but
 since it didn't get much better with the Arial font, I must assume an
 app_server problem instead.
