As you also found out, reportlab does not support zero width space chars. I
needed that for other purposes in the past as well. The best solution/hack I
could come up with, was too use space and set the font size to the smallest
possible value.

I implemented the following:

In all non-cjk wikis the text is checked for cjk characters. If cjk characters
are found fake zero-width-space chars are inserted. I tested this for a couple
of articles and the strategy seems to make sense.

As for your suggestion to use another PDF framework as reportlab: doing this is
a huge amount of work, therefore this is no option at the moment.

The render servers will be updated in the next 24 hours. I'll close this as
fixed.
