> parse Unicode glyph names
> -------------------------
>
>                 Key: PDFBOX-433
>                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PDFBOX-433
>             Project: PDFBox
>          Issue Type: Improvement
>          Components: Parsing, Text extraction
>    Affects Versions: 0.8.0-incubator
>            Reporter: Timo Boehme
>            Priority: Minor

> Adobe has specified (http://www.adobe.com/devnet/opentype/archives/glyph.html) how glyph names should be constructed to easily convert them (to Unicode). What is currently missing in PDFBox is the handling of suffixes (NAME.SUFFIX) and Unicode names (uniXXXX). I have therefore attached an updated method getCharacter( COSName name ) for class org.apache.pdfbox.encoding.Encoding.
> It first strips off suffix and tests later on for names starting with 'uni'.
