Finally!! DomPdf hits the spot (apparently)
It looks like dompdf is going to be our buddy again. While exchanging emails with Brian, I discovered that the main problem was with the fonts I was using, since they wasn’t been rendered ok, even with unicode disabled.

We’re releasing today the first release candidate of the 0.2 version of SIWAPP. Lots of bug fixes, some new features, some brand new refactoring and a little bit of pride We’ve focused mainly on the install process.

And so it begins here
… siwapp’s first steps into the “world”. Not even a “beta” yet, not even accesible, siwapp is officially starting to walk.
