Ah, sure you can get output with TTF/UTF-8 if you do unicode(foo, 'utf-8'), but 
justifincation still does not works. Means, that UTF output you CAN get. The 
only problem that unicode does not supported in general: AFAIK, there are no 
unicode strings inside the code. In PLATYPUS justification will not work, for
example.

Good news: I heard (but not sure), that Unicode is supported in the CVS snapshot. ;-)
