        If you are planning for your PDFs to be compliant with 
international PDF standards such as PDF/X or PDF/A - then you can NOT 
have ANY characters in teh PDF that map to .notdef.

        Why do you want this?!?!?   Why would you want to put a 
character into the text stream of a PDF that isn't drawn?   And why 
is Text Rendering mode #3 (no stroke or fill) not acceptable?
