While downloading pdf files from ta.wikisource.org the Tamil characters appear like a box. to prevent that a font was added in the tool. While downloading with mukta-malar font for Tamil language the content appears properly. But the file name generated is filled with arbitrary characters and also headings generated with first page also appears in box. Kindly resolve the issue because of these I have noted reduction in pdf downloads for Tamil Language from ta.wikisource.org
