Postscript, however, does not have to be what I need for two

First, it does not accept some special characters from foreign

'foreign' is a relative term which is imprecise (and somewhat
impolite) when writing to an international community: I don't suppose
Dieter Menne regards German characters as 'foreign' but Ei-ji Nakama
does, unlike Japanese ones.
You should given an example for that in pdf. I always had the
impression
that pdf is the most comprehensive in foreign character support.
Just a thought:
There was recently a discussion here on the pgfSweave [1] driver ---
it should be possible to use it in conjunction with XeTeX [2] to
process the pgf output. Presumably there will be issues of alignment
and spacing but at least arbitrary characters of most languages could
be employed in a fairly straight-forward manner.
