{quote}Furthermore, if used in text extraction contexts only, a proper
ToUnicode map would suffice, no need to know the encoding.{quote}
This is not the case. Text extraction has to reassemble the lines of text and
uses the widths of the characters to do this, which requires using the
Encoding. Also ToUnicode maps in simple fonts are pretty rare, they are found
more often in Type 0 fonts.
