------- Comment #14 from jeff at infidigm.net  2007-09-17 17:59 PST -------
I've come across another possible regression caused by this patch.

Around GfxFont.cc:1879 there is a comment that states:
        // fall-through, assuming the Identity mapping -- this appears
        // to match Adobe's behavior

This causes pdf's that use the Adobe-Japan mapping to fall-through when the
mapping file from the poppler-data package is not around. Falling through,
instead of erroring causes the identity mapping to be used which is obviously
not correct. 

Do you have any pdf's that rely on the fall-through behaviour? Perhaps known
mappings should cause an error and only unknown mappings fall through? i.e.
Adobe-Japan causes an error even if the .cidToUnicode file is not around.

What do you think?
