> On a system with no fonts, it is not possible to create PDF files that use the Standard 14 Symbol and Zapf Dingbats fonts. The current code tries to look at the generic fallback font (LiberationSans), which of course doesn't have it. But this isn't needed - we have all the metrics needed for the standard 14 fonts and don't need any actual font.
> Solution: change {{PDType1Font.encode()}} so that it doesn't use the generic font for standard 14 fonts.
