A blog by Tetsuya Kitahata [1] describes how to output PDF with Japanese charactes, I guess it will work with other languages too.

There is a misleading instruction in step 0, about which I've left a comment (pending author approval). I've also asked if we can include the content in a FAQ - failing that perhaps we should provide a link to the blog
