  I'm not familiar with PDF::Writer, but I would be surprised if you
really had all the glyphs for 'UTF-16BE' by default. What is the exact
output ? Does it produce the PDF file, or it simply fails with an
exception, or crashes ?

  If a PDF file is produced (of reasonable size), would you mind posting
it ?

  Cheers,
