In 5.43 you can set a path to an external font folder so that your unicode fonts don't get wiped on upgrade.

Also have added some instructions for CJK fonts since those aren't included even in the full dompdf that comes with civi+drupal 8/9.

    37 1. Visit Administer - System Settings - Misc and in the field for `DOMPDF Font Folder` put the full path to the font folder you created.
    38 1. When composing the PDF, if you have pasted from Microsoft Word into CKEditor it might set a specific font and then you will still see `?` in the output. You can click the Source button on the CKEditor toolbar to check - look for e.g. `<p style="font-family: Arial;">`.
