Since nobody else is answering (during the weekend), I'll pipe in.

IIRC these work since version 2.0.

They definitely work.

I haven't been keeping track; old versions of Reportlab only supported
Unicode/UTF-8 if you used TrueType fonts; the builtin Type-1 fonts
assumed windows-1252 or something like that.

Advanced scripts such as Arabic or Indian may not be supported, though;
again, I wasn't keeping track.
