UTF8 unsupported in PNG export of Gantt charts (?) (Bug #729)

Description

Hello,
it would seem that non-english characters are exported as question marks in the PNG export of Gantt charts, instead of the expected characters (in this case, Greek).

Is there something that should be present for this to work correctly? Rmagick is installed, as indicated by RMagick available (optional) in Administration/Information.

I'd be glad to provide any further information. Thank you in advance!

I can reproduce this. It seems the PDF and PNG export don't support UTF-8 well, or at least the fonts used don't have the expected characters.

Thanks for reporting, we probably won't have time to look into this further until after the release of 3.0, sorry.

Not to worry, I just stumbled upon this while trying chilly project out, and thought it was worth reporting.
