[lca2018-chat] Font used to render badge?

[paul]

Throwing more "gah, more stuff to care about" on the fire, I tried to 
enter some Chinese characters on the 'free text' line in the account 
info - they showed up fine in the browser (debian/firefox), but in the 
preview image they were the unicode placeholder boxes (no chinese chars 
at all). Presumably the fonts are missing from the server generating the 
preview image, but I have no idea if this would affect the actual 
printed tickets.

It's not a major issue for me, just a bit of fun, but just something to 
be aware of.

Cheers

Paul
