Please, can you attach a minimal script to reproduce this?
You should pass unicodes when using utf8, do not pass strings with
.encode('utf8')
(using utf8 fonts you can avoid the if isinstance(text, unicode):
block completely)
Yes unicode python support is hard to master, luckily in py3k it is a bit easier
