> I've noticed some issues when trying to encode text using embedded TTF fonts
> (e.g. filling forms). There's a special case where we use the font's built-in
> encoding via the cmap finding method described in the PDF spec. The problem
> is that in this special case, we treat the Encoding as null, which breaks
> some of the assumptions of the encode(...) method.
> The first thing to do is to handle the case for TTF where encoding is null.
> A second idea is to synthesise and Encoding for the TTF, so that a PDTrueType
> font has a Encoding just like any other font. That's a bit more tricky, but
> it would be conceptually much cleaner.
