  Version 1.8.1 - features added by contribution of REDDWARF / ONDREJ - THANKS!
  - new feature: allow forced JPEG compression for graphics
  - new feature: UNDERLINE + STRIKEOUT support (also in RICH TEXT and rotated text !)
  - new USE_SYNGDIPLUS conditional if you want to use the default jpeg unit instead of our SynGdiPlus (but you loose TIF, PNG, and GIF support)
  - enhanced: PenWidth changed to Single -> better precision (e.g. for underlined text)
  - fix issue: Rotated text was misplaced for some angles
  - some small fixes about FillRect() + scaling, and move/line stroke
  - REDDWARF / ONDREJ made a very good work - I had very few thinks to rewrite

Re: SynPdf unit updates

Version 1.8.6
  - system font enumeration is now stored using UTF-8, and any non ASCII font name will used in the PDF content the official Postscript name extracted from its TrueType font content;
  - optional charset parameter is now available in TPdfCanvas.SetFont: this was needed in case of TMetaFile rendering to fix some encoding problems.

It should fix some problems about fonts with name encoded in Chinese (I hope).
