Forrest uses Apache FOP to generate it's PDF output. I suspect there are problems with the Forrest's FONT output when it comes to unicode. Everything you'd want to know about FOP Font output is either on the FOP Fonts page[1], or in the mailing list archives[2]. It'd take some extra work, but someone may need to go into the document2fo.xsl stylesheets and make some modifications to the transformation. Among other things, though, font metrics files would need to be generated, and Forrest would somehow need to pass this information along to FOP.
