Hi, then seems that freesans does not include arabic characters, so some specific file with arabic characters needs to be created :idea:

Hello Jan,

Thanks for your help .. I downloaded the TCPDF library where I got the ara.php file and placed it under administrator/components/com_phocapdf/assets/tcpdf/config/lang .. but I couldn't know how to set this file to be the language used by default ... did what I do is right and what do I miss?
