Dunno about teTeX, but dblatex is fine with UTF-8--we use it that way
exclusively, and then use XeLaTeX (a Unicode-aware version of LaTeX) to
process the resulting file.
I'm currently using two non-Unicode fonts that still have all required
glyphs. It required a bit of testing though, but many fonts actually
have a full set of greek characters and those few symbols that my
document uses.
If you're using non-Unicode fonts, then you'll need LaTeX rather than
XeLaTeX. I'm not sure how (or whether) dblatex handles the conversion
in that case--it wouldn't be something a standard encoding converter
could handle, because you'd have to convert the non-ASCII (or at least
non-ISO) characters into some kind of LaTeX commands, I imagine. I've
never tried that.
