ok, I should (and I will) use CID font. Anyway, can you explain why the proposed syntax is wrong? Is it a pdf rule breaking in my example, is it an interpretation error from Acrobat,...?

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.
