Regards, Arminas")* Hi, Can you check your "hikashop attachinvoice" plugin and see if you right have the lines (two times): Code: $html2pdf = new HTML2PDF('P', 'A4', 'en',true, 'UTF-8'); It forces the initialization of the PDF library with the unicode support.

I think that is the matter of font. I have changed it to freesans. Now Lithuanian characters are shown, but it doesn't display bold. The BOLD characters in this font are shown like normal ones. Any suggestion how to deal with this?

Not all the fonts supports non-ASCII characters. You need to change the font in the options of the plugin into one which supports your characters. If the font that you select doesn't support bolding, I can only recommend you to try another one. Unfortunately, adding bolding support to a font is not in the range of possibilities for us.
