Problems with some Unicode characters

Hi, I’m using the latest xhtml2pdf (0.2b1) & reportlab (3.4.0) through django-easy-pdf (0.1.0) on Python 3.6.0 and it’s working great for the most part! One problem I am still experiencing, though, is that some Unicode characters are not rendering properly (šŠčČćĆđĐžŽ):

I’m using the default django-easy-pdf base template and I found that I can somewhat repair things if I override it to declare the html encoding:

{% block extra_style %}
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8">
{% endblock %}

Which results in some characters being rendered correctly like Š and Ž, but not all of them (Č, Ć, Đ are still blacked out).

I tried experimenting with different font declarations (sans-serif, serif, external fonts), but I can’t seem to fix this. The characters are never rendered correctly. I don’t know if I’m missing some xhtml2pdf / Reportlab setting here. Do you maybe have an idea of a possible solution?

Any news on fixing the bug? I tried all of the solutions I found on the web and none work, I still get nasty boxes instead of non-latin characters.
