Dear All,

There seems to have been a change from 0.94 to 0.95BETA. I'm not sure if
this is intentional, but the encoding 'ZapfDingbatsEncoding' (which I
understand to be some kind of FOP-specific workaround) is making it into the
final PDF output:

128 0 obj
<<
  /Type /Font
  /Subtype /Type1
  /BaseFont /ZapfDingbats
  /Encoding /ZapfDingbatsEncoding
>>

I believe 0.94 also used ZapfDingbatsEncoding, but final PDFs produced by
0.94 don't include it:

127 0 obj
<< /Type /Font
/Subtype /Type1
/Name /F14
/BaseFont /ZapfDingbats >>

As far as I understand, ZapfDingbatsEncoding is not a 'standard' encoding
like WinAnsiEncoding, and so this causes problems for PDF processing tools.
For example, PDFBox (http://www.pdfbox.org) balks at stripping text from
0.95BETA PDFs because of it, whereas it works fine with 0.94 PDFs.

Is there any guidance for this issue?

Your help is much appreciated,

Richard.
