But the text is _there_... I'm no PDF expert (nor even have a decent tool for
exploring PDF files' raw structure), but - if the encoding is iso-8859-1, or
something similar - should we not be able to figure this out? Especially given
the hint of lack-of-CMaps, rather than jarbled CMaps?

But there is text, isn't there? So, can we really not do anything?
