Hello, 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 aabccdee it becomes abcd with lithuanian letters stripped.

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

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

Thank you in advance for your help ;)

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