parse Unicode glyph names
-------------------------

                 Key: PDFBOX-433
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PDFBOX-433
             Project: PDFBox
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: Parsing, Text extraction
    Affects Versions: 0.8.0-incubator
            Reporter: Timo Boehme
            Priority: Minor


Adobe has specified (http://www.adobe.com/devnet/opentype/archives/glyph.html) 
how glyph names should be constructed to easily convert them (to Unicode). What 
is currently missing in PDFBox is the handling of suffixes (NAME.SUFFIX) and 
Unicode names (uniXXXX). I have therefore attached an updated method 
getCharacter( COSName name ) for class org.apache.pdfbox.encoding.Encoding.
It first strips off suffix and tests later on for names starting with 'uni'.
