Slavic characters are replaced by ■ #792
Description
Describe the Bug
Slavic characters are replaced by ■. Standard Arial font knows this letters, where should be an error?
pdf is created with unreadable chars. I also tried updated this html (with file "arial.ttf" in the same directory), but there is the same ouptut:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<meta charset="UTF-8">
<title>My HTML Document</title>
<style>
@font-face {
font-family: Arial;
src: url('/arial.ttf');
}
*{
font-family: Arial;
color: red;
}
</style
</head>
<body>
<h1>+ěščřžýáíéí</h1>
</body>
</html>
Minimal Example to Reproduce
file input.html :
<!DOCTYPE html>

<head>
<meta charset="UTF-8">

<style>
*{

}
</style
</head>
<body>
<h1>+ěščřžýáíéí</h1>
</body>
</html>
python code (utf-8 enconding too):
OUT = "output.pdf"

from xhtml2pdf import pisa
with open(IN, 'r', encoding='utf-8') as html_file:
html_content = html_file.read()
