General info

This project create a receipt in PDF using 'PyFPDF' Library and Python. PyFPDF is a library for PDF document generation under Python, ported from PHP 'FPDF', a well-known PDFlib-extension replacement.

To include font in languages other than English, we use the extended version 'tFPDF' library that adds UTF-8 support. To use a new font, add the font.ttf file in './font/unifont/' and call the font using add_font in main.py. Please take note that not all font is compatible and able to be used with 'tFPDF'.
