Oh no, definitely not ISO-8859-1!!! Moving back to single-byte character sets would be a non-starter in my view. UTF-8 will handle any character set - German, Polish, Russian, etc etc, including Chinese and Japanese I believe. If you use UTF-8 you can mix these languages on a single site which you can't do with non-Unicode character sets. And as far as I can see there is nothing wrong with Tikis treatment of German (or French, same thing) characters:
Voici des caractères français par exemple, y compris umlaut ü, et à ce que je vois pas de problème: 
So "Vive UTF-8!" and a huge raspberry to PDFLib for not handling it: pitiful. Definitely big problem in Tiki though since it makes PDF unusable for any character set other than English - pity
