You're talking about a Type 1 font. It would surprise me if they had UNICODE support (which is what you want if you use Identity-H). The encoding can be font specific, in which case "" is sufficient as encoding. Or it can be Adobe's Standard encoding: BaseFont.WINANSI, BaseFont.MACROMAN,...
Check out your AFM, does it have a line that says: EncodingScheme AdobeStandardEncoding Or does it say: EncodingScheme FontSpecific ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Enable your software for Intel(R) Active Management Technology to meet the growing manageability and security demands of your customers.
