Wrong PostcriptScriptTable due to wrong assumption in Encoding/MacRomanEncoding

Hi Pdfbox-developers,

when parsing a PostScriptTable of a TrueType font (Format 2.0: 
Non-Standard (for PostScript) TrueType Glyph Set.) I wondered about the 
many wrong "space" entries for non-whitespace-glyphs for which TTFDump 
stated ".notdef".

I found out that 
org.apache.fontbox.encoding.(MacRoman)Encoding.getName() puts a "space" 
when codeToName doesnt find a name.

I have no good grasp of the TTF spec but shouldn't this method be 
changed to return ".notdef" for unknown codes (means code with no PSGlyf 
Name)?
