I think I found the source for this bug by accident, it's in PDFLib_Core::WritePDFString. It only escapes UTF8 bytes > 255 as \u1234, but not the range 128 - 255 which is different from ASCII.

It would be helpful to have a sample doc with allows to reproduce the issue. I tried but can't.

Thanks Mike.

Avox, your fix does not seem to have much effects. With recent Acrobat Reader, documents display ok after export with current 1.4.4svn, with or without your fix. In evince 3.10.3, the document displays badly, with or without your fix.

Unrelated issue: the .sla when loads cannot find Linux Libertine that i clearly have already installed.
Edit: Jean says it's because some platforms seem to rename the font file and so it comes up as a different font. Need to download Linux Libertine from upstream and see if this fixes the issue.
