Thank you for the patch. I'll take it into account for the next version 
of wxPdfDocument. Usually I program against the latest stable release of 
wxWidgets, currently 2.8.9, but I'll try to make wxPdfDocument ready for 
the next major release of wxWidgets.

I'm not completely convinced that the conversion to multibyte strings 
using method wc_str as you propose in your patch will work under all 
circumstances. Especially in conjunction with OpenType fonts there is a 
chance that the string to be converted may contain embedded null 
characters, thus unwanted string truncation could occur if the real 
length of the string is not taken into account. I have to investigate 
this issue carefully.

I'll do. :-)

Work on the next version of wxPdfDocument is in progress, but there is 
not yet a release schedule.
