Though I am an LW user, not SBCL user, but I can confirm this. To deal with
Unicode characters in CL-PDF now, you have to convert them to 8-bit encoding
manually and accompany by a corresponding Type1 font.

For an example how to combat Unicode in LW, please take a look at http://lisp.ystok.ru/cl-pdf.html
