Michael McCandless resolved TIKA-722.
-------------------------------------
Resolution: Won't Fix
OK resolving as Won't Fix.
I don't see how Tika can recover when the font itself is buggy... though it is
tantalizing that the glyph IDs for this font are in fact Unicode code points.
I just hope there are not too many buggy fonts out there!

> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: parser

> I have a PDF w/ Arabic font that Tika fails to extract (gets all
> gibberish).
> Looks like the PDF does not include the separate Unicode text metadata
> (hmm: would Tika extract that if it were present?), and copy/paste out
> of the PDF also produces gibberish.
> To fix this I think we'd somehow have to know the mapping for the
> font (this particular font is AXTManal)?
