The only good thing is that box drawing is fine (while the other
converters don't work well for that). However, there are 2 problems:
1. For some scripts, I get rectangles, meaning that the glyphs could
not be found. There may be an issue with the font selection.
2. The generated text part (as this can be seen with pdftotext)
contains mostly garbage, even for ASCII text. This may not be
an issue for printing on paper, but here it is (and I suppose
that it is too when printing to a PDF file).
