The manual does talk about substitution characters. There isn't a lot
of information about this, but it is relatively simple to do. I don't
have a lot of time to document this right now, but the next version
will have additional documentation about this.
PDF::Writer will *never* support UTF-8 directly, because the PDF spec
doesn't.
It'd be nice if PDF supported it, but it doesn't.
