Thank you for pointing this error. Anyway, it does not seem to work when corrected... Concerning the custom encoding, I often need more than the winansi characters, that is why the structure seems so strange :o)
We found the most reliable way to use TrueType fonts with encodings other than WinAnsi or MacRoman (or builtin for symbol fonts) to be glyph id addressing with conversion to CID fonts. This requires a lot of font-related work (parse the font's internal cmaps; keep track of its GID mappings; map incoming text to GIDs; translate kerning values between incoming text and GIDs; etc.), but provides a much more general and robust approach, and in addition opens the door to clean Unicode support.
