fix: use noto sans for text insertion on pdfs

Use Noto Sans to gracefully handle inserting custom text
on PDF's. Previously we were using Helvetica which is a
standard PDF font but that would fail for any character
that couldn't be encoded in WinANSI.

Noto Sans was chosen as it has support for a large number
of languages and glyphs with challenges now being adding
support for CJK glyphs.
