According to "The table directory" under https://developer.apple.com/fonts/TrueType-Reference-Manual/RM06/Chap6.html#Directory, TrueType font tables should have `uint32` checksums.
This is something that I noticed, and was initially confused about, while debugging a TrueType issue.
As far as I can tell, the current (`int32`) checksums we use doesn't cause any issues in practice. However, I do think that this should be addressed to agree with the specification, and to reduce possible confusion when reading the font code.
Currently there's a lot of duplicate code for non-embedded `toFontChar`, which this patch simplifies by extracting the code into a helper function instead.
This patch adds a `getUnicodeForGlyph` helper function, which is used to recover Unicode values for non-standard glyph names.
Some PDF generators, e.g. Scribus PDF, use improper `uniXXXX` glyph names which breaks the glyph mapping. We can avoid this by converting them to "standard" glyph names instead.

In the PDF file in question, some of the 'name' table entries have `record.length === 0`. This becomes problematic in the non-unicode case, since `font.getBytes(0)` will fetch the *entire* stream.
Given that OTS rejects 'name' entries larger than `2^16`, this thus explain the sanitizer errors.
Fixes 7020.
It seems to be fairly common for OCR software to include incomplete TrueType fonts, notable missing the "glyf" table, in PDF files. Since we currently reject such fonts, the result is that text-selection/copying is broken.
This patch contains a suggested approach to try and use these kind of broken fonts, by using existing code in `sanitizeGlyphLocations` to replace a missing "glyf" table with dummy data.

*This patch follows a similar idea as PR 5756.*
The patch is based on the nice debugging done by Brendan in the referenced issue 6782.
A better way to handle this, and similar issues, would probably be to completely ignore what the PDF file claims about font type/subtype, and just check the actual data. But until that kind of rewrite happens, this patch should help.
Fixes 6782.
In `Font_checkAndRepair` we can decide that a font isn't TrueType, and instead parse it as CFF. In that case it's quite possible that the `fontMatrix` will be changed, and without calling `adjustWidths` we're failing to update the glyph widths correctly.

After PR 6590, `font.spaceWidth` is now called in more cases than before (in `PartialEvaluator_getTextContent`), which exposed an underlying issue with `IdentityToUnicodeMap_charCodeOf` throwing an error.
This breaks text-selection in some PDF files found in the wild, hence this patch replaces the `error` with an actual function instead (modelled after `IdentityCMap_charCodeOf`).
For (1, 0) cmaps, we have two different codepaths depending on whether the font has/hasn't got an encoding. But with (3, 1) cmaps we don't have a good fallback when the encoding is missing, hence this patch changes `readCmapTable` to only choose a (3, 1) cmap table if the font is non-symbolic *and* an encoding exists. Without this, we'll not be able to successfully create a working glyph map for some TrueType fonts with (3, 1) cmap tables.
Fixes 6410.
Fixes https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1200096.
The problematic font has a `format 2` cmap, which we've never supported properly. Prior to PR 2606, we were able to fallback to a working state, despite not having proper support for that cmap format.
Obviously the best/correct solution would be to implement actual support for more cmap formats[1]. However, I'm hoping that a simple patch will be OK for now, given that:
- `format 2` cmaps seem to be quite rare in practice, since this has been broken for 2.5 years before anyone noticed.
- Having a simple patch will make potential uplifts a lot easier.

Fixes 6068.
The most notable issue with the font in question is that the `differences` array contains lots of strange entries (of the type `uniXXXX`, instead of proper glyph names).
Fixes https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1050040.
With this patch the file is completely readable, but given that the font is broken enough to be rejected by OTS the rendering differs slightly from Adobe Reader.
*Note:* the PDF file is sufficiently broken that even Adobe Reader complains about the font, *and* also about another more general issue.
