> I have a PDF w/ Arabic font that Tika fails to extract (gets all
> gibberish).
> Looks like the PDF does not include the separate Unicode text metadata
> (hmm: would Tika extract that if it were present?), and copy/paste out
> of the PDF also produces gibberish.
> To fix this I think we'd somehow have to know the mapping for the
> font (this particular font is AXTManal)?
