Uhm, but the strings I'm using in the given example do not contain any fancy char, most of them are actually the empty string ('') and even that comes out as “b''”. Maybe the "Subject" is misleading: I'm not using repr() within my code, but rather the PDF output contains (some) strings as if they were processed thru repr().
