-------------------------------------------------------------
It works for me but makeFontDescriptor is called when a font is loaded from the
local system, so it seems that our local systems are providing different TTF
files for "Symbol", I'm on OS X 10.9.3. From the extra information in the
exception message I can compare the cmaps in our respective fonts:
{code}
Tilman: [{1 0}, {3 0}] = (Macintosh, Roman), (Windows, Symbol)
John: [{0 3}, {1 0}] = (Unicode, BMP), (Macintosh, Roman)
{code}
The old code was looking for a (Windows, Unicode) cmap, while the new code is
looking for a (Unicode, Full/BMP) cmap. Neither will work on your system with
this font, because it only has a (Windows, Symbol) cmap. I've added some code
to the trunk so that PDFBox will look for the following cmaps in order:
Unicode/Full, Unicode/BMP, Windows/Unicode, Windows/Symbol.
Microsoft's [Recommendations for OpenType
Fonts|http://www.microsoft.com/typography/otspec/recom.htm] says that "Symbol"
encoding actually means "Unicode, non-standard character set", so this seems
ok, because we want a Unicode cmap.
