[ilugd] Fisicalab
FísicaLab is an educational application to solve physics problems. Is made with GNUstep and use the GSL libraries (GNU Scientific Library). The problems are setting adding elements from the palette to chalkboard, and writing the data of each element. The elements are objects as Blocks, Pulleys, Mobiles, Forces, ... . Use the SI and English systems, scientific notation and many conversion factors. The problems that can be solved with FísicaLab 0.1, are: Kinematics of particles (doesn't include circular motion). Statics of particles in 2D. Dynamic of particles in 2D (doesn't include dynamic of circular motion). The static and dynamic problems are entered constructing the free body diagrams of the objects. Although FísicaLab is easy and intuitive, we recommend you read the help files first before set any problem. You can access these files in the option menu Info - Help.

Might be worth poking at the internals to see how Joomla does generate the PDF. And, the original post would be a good puzzle on indlinux list :) Joomla uses a library called TCPDF, whose author I'm in communication with. Unfortunately TCPDF requires the fonts to be in some special format, for which tools are provided along with the library itself. I'd used the tools and instructions for converting NafeesWebNaskh (the font I'm using) into TCPDF-compatible form, and that's what seems to be b0rk. I can use the Arabic font that ships with TCPDF for generating PDFs, which look fine but also have characters missing (not as many missing as with NafeesWebNaskh though).
