Matplotlib only subsets with Type 3 fonts as output. Type 42 is much harder to generate.
We could try generating glyph names when none are available -- anything guaranteed to be unique within the font would be fine. Since I don't run Windows, I need to somehow get access to the problematic font file for testing, though. Cheers, Mike Jouni K.
