Notice
If you do not need Chinese support, you can delete src/fonts/SourceHanSansCN-Normal.ttf.
When you input a Chinese character, it will automatically extract the first letter of the pinyin of the Chinese character instead of the original input if you deleted src/fonts/SourceHanSansCN-Normal.ttf.
$Avatar = new MDAvtars('林', 512);//The pinyin of "林" is "Lin".
This will be the same as that below if you deleted src/fonts/SourceHanSansCN-Normal.ttf.
$Avatar = new MDAvtars('L', 512);//The first letter of that pinyin is "Lin".
