redmine и экспорт в pdf на русском

Debian/squeeze
В репозитории redmine 0.9.0~svn2907-1, поддержка mysql отдельным пакетом redmine-mysql.

Перед конфигурированием redmine необходимо в /etc/mysql/my.cnf добавить:
[client]
default-character-set=utf8

[mysqld]
init_connect='SET collation_connection = utf8_general_ci'
init_connect='SET NAMES utf8'
default-character-set=utf8
character-set-server = utf8
collation-server = utf8_general_ci

[mysql]
default-character-set=utf8
иначе таблицы будут созданы с кодировкой latin1.

Из коробки экспорт в pdf выводит плящущие сикарашки. Патча от разработчиков не ожидается, но есть "народное" решение для версии 0.8.
Для версии 0.9 требуются небольшие исправления, но в целом лечится аналогично.
1. Отсюда берем модифицированный пакет RFPDF и заменяем содержимое каталога redmine/vendor/plugins/rfpdf на содержимое архива.
2. Патчим redmine:
