John Hewson reopened PDFBOX-3403:
---------------------------------
Unfortunately this fix was not a good choice. The exception which was thrown is
there to verify PDFBox's internal consistency, and bypassing it now allows
PDFBox to get into an inconsistent state where invariants such as
getBaseEncoding() never returns null being violated.
As the exception says, symbolic fonts *must* have a built-in encoding. It's the
job of the caller of this function to make sure the inputs are correct - that
what needs to happen.
The `readEncoding()` method of `PDSimpleFont` is responsible for reading, and
making fixes to encodings. This code should be making sure that the invariants
set by DictionaryEncoding are satisfied, rather than forcing through invalid
data. *MacExpertEncoding* is in fact a valid encoding and we need to support it.
