PDF export bug fixes and improvements
1.9M2 adds a few important features and addresses several issues related to the PDF export feature:- PDFs now contain a cover page and a table of contents page.


- Changed the default font to FreeSerif, as it looks better on paper.

- Scaled images preserve the custom dimensions in PDFs also, with the exception that the aspect ratio is always preserved to be the same as the original image, and:
- Images are prevented from overflowing the paper, by being automatically scaled down to the maximum available space.
- The export works when running the container as a user with no home directory, since now the cache is correctly created in the temporary directory.
- A few style changes.
