 Hi, 

 I'm very sorry for confusion - I found the reason why all programs fail to
interpret .pdfs produced by GP with russian in them - it's because fraction
serparator for russian locale is comma, not dot, so all floating-poing values
emitted in .pdf stream have "," instead of "." as fraction separator.

 If I produce .pdfs under locale that has "." as fraction serparator with
russian inside .pdfs - everything works fine (xpdf doesn't show russian
letters though - but it's because non-russian fonts are in its fontmap, GS
shows that .pdf absolutely fine, and I didn't test acroread).

 I've attached a sample .pdf produced under russian locale. It contains only
one string - "ABC123" (latin chars - i.e. no russian fonts are required).

 Replacing comma with dot in the following line
12,000000 0,000000 0,000000 12,000000 100,000000 300,000000 Tm
 makes this file valid one.
