Yigal Dayan commented on PDFBOX-420:
------------------------------------
Mapping 'Identity-H' to JIS also creates problems in some Arabic PDFs. These
PDFs use 'Identity-H' to encode two Arabic characters in one glyph. The patch
causes these Arabic characters to be sent to the CJK converter where they get
corrupted.
> Japanese Characters are garbled.
