I have tried it now. These are my results:
(1) A text like
English: Hello World
Greek: Γειά σου κόσμος
Polish: Witaj świecie
Portuguese: Olá mundo
Russian: Здравствуй, Мир
Vietnamese: Xin chào thế giới
Arabic: مرحبا العالم
Hebrew: שלום עולם
will be converted to pdf.
(2) But there are problems with right-to-left scripts:
שלום עולם is written as םלוע םולש
مرحبا العالم is written as ملاعلا ابحرم
(3) pdf.write_html seems to work only with latin-1
pdf.write_html("äöü") is written as "äöü", but
pdf.write_html("äöü".decode('utf-8').encode('latin-1') gives "äöü" - as
expected.
(4) pdf.write_html does not work with any "&...;" html-character
pdf.write_html(">") gives "#62;"
Maybe something should be improved...
