You can give reportlab [1] a try. It has support for TrueType fonts
and unicode translation using UTF-8. I used to use it for pdf files
with polish chars.
Some example code:
<code>
from reportlab.pdfbase import pdfmetrics
from reportlab.pdfbase.ttfonts import TTFont
from reportlab.pdfgen import canvas
pdfmetrics.registerFont(TTFont('Verdana', 'Verdana.ttf'))
c = canvas.Canvas("pl.pdf")
c.setFont("Verdana", 12)
c.drawString(100, 600, "Witaj, świecie!".decode("iso-8859-2").encode("utf-8"))
c.showPage()
c.save()
</code>
