Matías Giovannini commented on PDFBOX-3884:
-------------------------------------------
My use case is translating legacy Postscript-generating code as directly as
possible to Pdfbox; I wouldn't have seen this quirk in action if not for the
fact that I'm dealing with old-style Adobe encodings. I'd rather not add a
layer of Adobe → Unicode encoding only to have Pdfbox decode it again; I'd be
essentially duplicating all the code in {{GlyphList}} and {{Encoding}}
subclasses but "doing it right" to just bypass this issue.
The _real_ reason I'm using {{showText(font.toUnicode(code))}} is that there's
no {{showText(byte[], int, int)}} call that directly generates a {{Tj}} from
Adobe codepoints, bypassing all the decoding machinery. An alternative would be
to directly generate a {{( chars ) Tj}} command and ship it out with the
{{appendRawCommands(byte[])}} method if it weren't for the fact that it's
deprecated.

> Priority: Minor
> Attachments: PDFEncodingError.java

>
> The Adobe Glyph List contains both "ilde;02DC" (line 2304) and "tilde;02DC"
> (line 3826), so the Unicode conversion of ExtendedRoman 0x98 (152) "small
> tilde" fails:
> java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: U+02DC ('ilde') is not available in this
> font Times-Roman encoding: WinAnsiEncoding
