Togan,

I've decided to continue discuss it publicly since it is a common problem
and confusion. Opposite to a document's contents, bookmarks are not _rendered_
by a PDF producer. They are supplied as data to Acrobat Reader; there is no
place to set a font for bookmarks inside the PDF file.

Acrobat Reader (starting with 5.0 IIRC) accepts bookmarks in Unicode and displays
them using a font it is configured to use too. To say the truth I cannot recall
what exactly I had done to force AR to use a Unicode font  with AR for Linux,
but I'll try to reconstruct it.
