UTF-8 and PDF

Hi,
I need to generate a PDF report from my MySql. The problem appears when we want to write in Persian. The PDFlib appearently doesn't support UTF-8. I also checed UFPDF. It neither work well.
Any advice?
I use:
PHP Version 4.3.7
mysql: Client API version 3.23.49

I am also interested in UTF-8 support PDFlib Lite since I need to write Cyrillic text into a PDF.

Any suggestions please?

For Cyrillic - have you tried FPDF?

I haven't tried it with Cyrillic, but I think it should work.

For Persian, does the PDF_load_font() function help in any way?
