I solved this issue by adding the following line:

$pdf->SetFont('aealarabiya', '', 18);

It turned out that you need to set the proper font type to remove those ugly ????? characters.

The exmaple mentioned in this link was very useful to solve this issue.

I solved this issue by following this step:

1. Download TCPDF from here: http://sourceforge.net/projects/tcpdf/
2. Open the TCPDF file after download and go to FONTS

3. Copy these files

   • aealarabiya.ctg.z

   • aealarabiya.z

   • aealarabiya.php

4. Paste in this location: your WHCMS root / includes/fonts if fonts folder doesn't exist create it.

5. Go to WHCMS Admin Panel Got to WHMCS Set Up / General Setting / Invoice / TCPDF Font Family / custom (aealarabiya)
