I took a closer look at the FAQ and it doesn't sound like Graphviz can do exactly what I'd like it to do.
"It is essential that a font which has the glyphs for your specified characters is available at final rendering time."
It sounds to me like UTF-8 encoded characters won't show if the font isn't available on the machine, in which case we'd have to either somehow force a font install or ideally just package the font with the application. The latter would require rebuilding Graphviz without fontconfig enabled, I think?
