            Description

            A client sent in a set of PDFs that had embedded font programs but the font engine could not correctly display the glyphs. The glyphs where asian and the font was a CID font with with CIDtoGID that wasn't the standard identity mapping. The font engine and the respective Cmap is incorrectly initialized making it impossible to correctly map a none identity cmap.

            For example consider the cid's below, the current algorithm that organizes and compresses the CID -> GID makes it imposible to retreive the GID value for a given CID because CID and GID are not equal.

            CID GID
            0x0704 = 1796 14
            0x0db3 = 3507 24
            0x08ba = 2234 5
            ox0d15 = 3349 53
