PDF generation and display, specifically Unicode character support and AI model tool invocation.

Technical Positioning
Robust, localized PDF reporting and reliable AI agent interaction with external tools.
SaaS Insight & Market Implications
This issue consolidates critical failures in both PDF generation and AI agent functionality. The `FPDFUnicodeEncodingException` confirms a systemic font issue, preventing rendering of Chinese characters ("股") due to reliance on non-Unicode fonts like "helvetica." This directly impacts the product's core reporting for the A-share market. Concurrently, "deepseek-reasoner does not support this tool_choice" errors indicate a fundamental incompatibility or misconfiguration in how AI agents invoke structured outputs, leading to operational failures. These are not isolated incidents; multiple users report both issues across different environments. This dual failure points to severe architectural and internationalization deficiencies, undermining both output quality and core AI agent capabilities.
