I just couldn''t miss a chance to shake the stick in the notion of
"I
did implement Unicode in my app, why didn''t you?"
But the way it seems to work in PDF is indeed inexplicably terrible,  
so this should wait. Although that makes PDF::Writer unusable for my  
for just about any purpose (except formatting subversion changelogs  
and other ppurely programming-related documentation that is  
guaranteed to be ASCII). hope you pardon my pun.

I will try to contact the pdstamp people and ask them how they handle  
the problem, I might need a Unicode-aware stamper soon.
