I'm just converting the tabs to spaces in code now, but PDFBOX trunk was
working, for tabs, last i checked, a few weeks ago.

That was a bug, the intended behaviour for missing glyphs is to raise an
IllegalArgumentException.

Alternatively, I just used Type 1 font because that's what the examples showed.
If you have another snippet of code, to use Helvetica or Arial or something
common, that can handle all characters, please post it?

Generally TTF fonts support a broader range of characters, take a look at our
EmbeddedFonts example.
