use jsreport with other languages (not in English)

I need to generate PDF reports ,but the problem is I can't render with Persian language ,simple example :

var http = require('http');
var jsreport = require('jsreport');

http.createServer(function(req, res) {
    jsreport.render({
            template: {
                content: "<h2>سلام</h2>",// means "hello" in persian
                engine: 'jsrender',
                recipe: 'phantom-pdf'
            }
        })
        .then(function(out) {
            out.stream.pipe(res);
        }).catch(function(e) {
            res.end(e.message);
        });

}).listen(3031, '127.0.0.1');

Generated PDF contain something wrong and unreadable, any idea? Thanks for any advise.

From the documentation

To be able to print correct national characters into pdf you need to set utf-8 charset in your html first.

<html>
  <head>
    <meta content="text/html; charset=utf-8" http-equiv="Content-Type">
  </head>
  <body>
     سلام
  </body>
</html>

Playground example here
