Greek characters when exporting in pdf are garbled

Hello, I'm having trouble with greek characters when exporting in pdf format from the TableTools flash plugin. I got some info from this discussion :
http://datatables.net/forums/discussion/4498/table-tools-pdf-add-style-at-least-bold-and-italic/p1

But I've recompiled ZeroClipboardPdf.as to use the UnicodePdf class, but it's not enough, still garbled. (Csv export works fine, I am using utf in my page etc)

Is this a limitation in the alivepdf library ? Is there a workaround ?

    As noted in a number of other threads (

    http://datatables.net/forums/discussion/6680/tabletools-utf-8-in-pdf-format/p1
    http://www.datatables.net/forums/discussion/6932/tabletool-bug-with-exporting-non-english-characters/p1

    ) unfortunately we've not yet found a way to get UTF-8 support on the PDFs output by AlivePDF.

    The only workaround at the moment is to have the server generate PDFs. Any patches to add support for UTF-8 on PDF output are very welcome!
