Juraj Lonc commented on PDFBOX-1713:
------------------------------------
Is this fix considered to be "permanent" or "temporary"?
I consider it ugly :(
That "bullet" character is properly defined in "/ToUnicode" mapping, and this
mapping is ignored by pdfbox, IMHO.
I tried to explain "proper way" of handling this situation in PDFBOX-2093
Replacing all "unknown" characters to "bullet" is not a good idea, as there
could be any unicode character in that /ToUnicode mapping
