Andreas Lehmkühler commented on PDFBOX-420:
-------------------------------------------
As far as a understand the whole encoding stuff the issue comes up every time
truetype-CID-fonts are used. Whenever these kind of fonts is used "Identity-H"
is used as encoding. The patch maps these encoding to the characterset "JIS"
which stands for a ISO-2022-JP, a japanese mapping (see
org.apache.pdfbox.encoding.conversion.CJKEncodings.java).
So finally I don't know where to find the solution. Is it wrong to simply map
"Identity-H" to "JIS" or is the reason for this problem the missing support for
CID-fonts.
Any suggestions or hints for solving this issue?
