Forrest might want to consider making Dejavu the default font for PDF generation
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

                 Key: FOR-1232
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FOR-1232
             Project: Forrest
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: Internationalisation (i18n)
    Affects Versions: 0.9, 0.10-dev
            Reporter: Karl Wright


Forrest's configuration for PDF generation seems to use default fonts that do not have CJK characters.  The Forrest site describes using the open-source Dejavu font family as a way of generating such multilingual PDFs.  Since the Dejavu license has been ruled by Apache Legal as being compatible with the Apache License, it seems like a natural step to generate PDFs in Forrest using the Dejavu font by default, saving CJK users a significant amount of work in order to use Forrest.
