John Hewson commented on PDFBOX-2338:
-------------------------------------
The workaround for this in
[r1625711|http://svn.apache.org/viewvc/pdfbox/trunk/pdfbox/src/main/java/org/apache/pdfbox/pdmodel/font/PDSimpleFont.java?r1=1625711&r2=1625710&pathrev=1625711]
isn't safe - there's no guaranteed reason to expect a font whose name begins
with Symbol to use a symbolic encoding, although it's very likely.
