To do it we need a PHP library which could manage the UTF8 but we do not find it.
So it will be really difficult for us.

Is this anything like the library you are looking for? Joomla is using this library for it's UTF handling.

It is not the real problem.
GLPI already used UTF8. The problem is to have a pdf library which is compatible with UTF8.

Okey, now I understand - I'll keep my eyes open for a PDF library that handles UTF8 then

Thanks for a great project.

Update:

Seems like I found one:
