WSCST(*PDF) and unicode

I have a PRTF with some Unicode data, for example: -

VNDNAM 50G POSITION(4.1 2.0)
FONTNAME('MONOTYPE SANS WT' +
*POINTSIZE 9.0))
CCSID(13488 *NOCONVERT)

When I generate the spool file from a RPGLE program, I can view it using Viewer within System i Navigator and the data looks good. The data contains Chinese characters.
However, when I use OVRPRTF with WSCST(*PDF) to produce a PDF, the Unicode data is lost.
The Fonts tab on the Document Properties of the generated PDF document states that the encoding is ANSI. This seems incorrect
Any idea why the Unicode data is being lost ?
