<p>I've got a "little" problem with Zend Framework Zend_Pdf class. Multibyte characters are stripped from generated pdf files. E.g. when I write aąbcčdeę it becomes abcd with lithuanian letters stripped.</p>

<p>I'm not sure if it's particularly Zend_Pdf problem or php in general. </p>

<p>Source text is encoded in utf-8, as well as the php source file which does the job.</p>

<p>Thank you in advance for your help ;)</p>

<p>P.S. I run Zend Framework v. 1.6 and I use FONT_TIMES_BOLD font. FONT_TIMES_ROMAN does work</p>

I believe Zend_Pdf got UTF-8 support in 1.5 - What version of Zend Framework are you running?
Also - what font are you trying to render with? Have you tried alternate fonts?
