However, the output seems to have some encoding problems. I will look
into the encoding issue, but cannot promise any particular time frame

I think I have fixed the encoding bug in revision 6707. While the only

several different encodings), the changes in backend_pdf.py were big
enough that I'm hesitant to check this in on the maintenance branch.
