[for the devs] TCPDF fixes

[man.of.earth]

Hello devs,

I fixed the paths for /administrator/components/com_tcpdf/tcpdf.php, and left the former lines preceded by # (commented).

lines 111 to 121:

// TCPDF static font methods and data
require_once(JPATH_ROOT.'/libraries/vendor/tecnickcom/tcpdf/include/tcpdf_font_data.php');#require_once(dirname(__FILE__).'/include/tcpdf_font_data.php');
// TCPDF static font methods and data

require_once(JPATH_ROOT.'/libraries/vendor/tecnickcom/tcpdf/include/tcpdf_static.php');echo '<h3>This component is meant to be so<h3>';#require_once(dirname(__FILE__).'/include/tcpdf_static.php');


It also throws a few PHP deprecation messages.

require_once(dirname(__FILE__)

What is the problem with it, do you use PHP8?

[man.of.earth]

No, just PHP 7.4.
Displaying that page produced a lot of errors.

[Milbo]

Hmmm, do you have the same problem with the last version? I just need to ask, because there ar ereally a lot people with no problems.

[man.of.earth]

Great! I saw the last version is updated to 1.2.2 and produces no errors.
It does even display some text:

Yes, I also fixed that one, it was a silly stupid error not displaying this page.
