This has the drawback that searching or cut'n' paste fra the PDF document won't work (e.g. see bug #5335). To fix this, a ToUnicode mapping should be created such that the characters in the PDF document are unicode (UTF-16 encoded) and a mapping between unicode and glyph index is embedded with the font. The reason why this wasn't implemented to begin with was that it wasn't documented very well in the PDF spec. Experimenting with different settings was hard (development on a slow computer implied a very long and frustrating round-trip) and error messages from Acrobat reader wasn't very cooperative :) Since then Adobe has published a tutorial and howto for creating ToUnicode maps: http://partners.adobe.com/asn/developer/pdfs/tn/5411.ToUnicode.pdf So it should be easier to create now.
Good answer, Tore! I saved link to your post in bug #5335 if you don't mind.
