I had a look in the source code… hasGlyph is used to find out whether the 
character code found in a PDF (this is NOT a Unicode! In font subsets, an a can 
be 1, and c can be 2, and a z can be code 3!) is supported by the font. If not, 
a log message is produced.

What you want to do is to find out whether a glyph is in a font. At this time, 
the only solution is to call showText and see if an IllegalArgumentException 
occurs.
