--------------------------------------------------------------
I've just fixed this issue again as part of PDFBOX-2262. The conversation above
is mostly incorrect, this file is a valid PDF and rendering it follows the spec
exactly. The font _does_ contain the character mappings, but not in its (3,1)
or (1,0) "cmap" tables, instead the PostScript names for glyphs are contained
in the "post" table. The PDF spec describes exactly what to do in the fallback
situation for nonsymbolic fonts:
{quote}
PDF 32000, p266:
In any of these cases, if the glyph name cannot be mapped as specified, the
glyph name shall be looked up in the font program’s “post” table (if one is
present) and the associated glyph description shall be used.
{quote}
I've removed the existing workaround of using the (3, 0) table and replaced it
with the mechanism described in the spec.
