If you are using the same font for each paragraph, do NOT
create a new one each time! Reuse a single one for the entire
document...That will improve performance AND reduce the size of the
final PDF.
As to what gets written - the semantic value will match what
you are placing into PDF...HOWEVER, the actual CID (character ID)
will not necessary represent anything of value. That's why there is
a mapping table between CID<->GID and also a /ToUnicode table.

Not for an Identity-H encoding, no, there is not.
