So....

I have decided to bite the bullet and am writing a Remind-to-PDF
converter using the Pango text-formatting library and Cairo
graphics library to produce the PDF.  I've also fixed up Remind
so all the localizations use UTF-8 and Remind itself handles
UTF-8 just fine.

I'm not anywhere near done yet, but attached is what I have working
so far... the layout is a bit silly because the code is incomplete, but
support for Unicode is there!

Regards,

Dianne.
