Jonas Jenwald	356b321f6d	Fallback to the `StandardEncoding` for Nonsymbolic fonts without `/Encoding` entry (issue 7580) Even though this patch passes all tests (unit/font/reference) locally, including the new ones that I added in PR 7621, I'm still a bit nervous about modifying the code that choose the fallback encoding for fonts without an `/Encoding` entry. Note that over the years this code has been changed on a number of occasions, see a possibly incomplete [list here], to deal with various cases of incorrect font data. According to the PDF specification, see http://www.adobe.com/content/dam/Adobe/en/devnet/acrobat/pdfs/PDF32000_2008.pdf#G8.1904184, it seems that we should fallback to the `StandardEncoding` for Nonsymbolic fonts. There's obviously a risk that fixing this particular issue could break other PDF files for which we don't have tests. However I've tried to change the logic as little as possible in this patch, to hopefully reduce possible breakage. Based on debugging numerous font issue, it seems that a lot of fonts actually set the Symbolic flag, even when they are in fact not Symbolic. Fonts actually marked as Nonsymbolic seem to be somewhat less common, which I hope should reduce the risk of the patch somewhat. Fixes 7580.	9 years ago

Fallback to the `StandardEncoding` for Nonsymbolic fonts without `/Encoding` entry (issue 7580)

Even though this patch passes all tests (unit/font/reference) locally, including the new ones that I added in PR 7621, I'm still a bit nervous about modifying the code that choose the fallback encoding for fonts without an `/Encoding` entry.
Note that over the years this code has been changed on a number of occasions, see a possibly incomplete [list here], to deal with various cases of incorrect font data.

There's obviously a risk that fixing this particular issue *could* break other PDF files for which we don't have tests. However I've tried to change the logic as little as possible in this patch, to hopefully reduce possible breakage.

Based on debugging numerous font issue, it seems that a lot of fonts actually set the Symbolic flag, even when they are in fact *not* Symbolic. Fonts actually marked as Nonsymbolic seem to be somewhat less common, which I hope should reduce the risk of the patch somewhat.

Fixes 7580.
