At the top of page 578, Bruno writes  "Another possibility.....the 
content stream consists of raw glyph indexes; the nth character of this 
(embedded) font.   You then.....go through the character mapping 
and.....find the right letter."

I'm trying to read a PDF with six embedded fonts whereby the content 
uses this technique of encoding.  Most of the raw text characters are in 
the hex range of 01-40.

I'm totally lost as to how to build the array of glyphs.  I don't fully 
understand the embedded font object(s) and what API object(s) I should use.

I know that one of the embedded fonts used does not have a ToUnicode name.

Can anyone post a code segment to get me started?

Thanx in advance

B.Wilmot
