Embedding Unicode fonts in jsPDF for Cyrillic support
A developer shares a clean method to add Cyrillic text to jsPDF by embedding the DejaVu Sans font. The fix involves converting the TTF file to base64, registering it with addFileToVFS and addFont, then setting it before writing text. This avoids transliteration hacks and produces proper Cyrillic output.

A practical workaround for a common jsPDF limitation, but the need to manually embed fonts highlights the library's lack of built-in Unicode support.
