Describe the Bug

I m using xhtml2pdf Version: 0.2.5 with django version 3.2 , I m trying to convert my hindi text into pdf but after converting pdf hindi text is not encoded with a right way , it gives black boxes or unreadable characters ------ I already used in html file meta encoding ="utf-8" line and also attached another libarary for hindi language like devnagriRegular.ttf file but not working

##this is my view function in django

template_path = 'pdf_report.html'
context = {'products': products}

response = HttpResponse(content_type='application/pdf')
response['Content-Disposition'] = 'attachment; filename="report.pdf"'

template = get_template(template_path)
html = template.render(context)

result = BytesIO()
# pisa.CreatePDF(
#  template, dest=response,  encoding='UTF-8')
pdf = pisa.pisaDocument(BytesIO(html.encode("UTF-8")), result, encoding='UTF-8')


if not pdf.err:

Could you please provide some standalone code without relying on custom Django models and views, ideally without even using Django as this should be irrelevant in this case?

Could you please provide the standalone code you apparently have then to simplify reproduction?
