ok, SOLVED ttf issue for unicode example
http://code.google.com/p/pyfpdf/wiki/Unicode
just needed to create directory gluon > contrib > fpdf > font
and place needed ttf files insited it :)
then pdf.write(8, u"Ąžuolas") works fine
BUT - how to make it work with write_html(...) ?
write_html( str(P( u"Ąžuolas" )) # produces "Ąžuolas"
pdf.write_html( u'Ąžuolas'.encode('utf8') ) # also "Ąžuolas"
pdf.write_html( u'Ąžuolas' ) gives error

>>> pdf.cell(50,20, stxt, 0, 2, 'L')
