Philip Helger commented on PDFBOX-2011:
---------------------------------------

These methods would be helpful to really determine what named characters are present overall, without reading the glyph lists manually. In case a font /Differences array is necessary, this could be helpful.

> Hi!
> It would be kind if you could extend the Encoding base class with the following 2 methods so that external access to the static maps is easier:
>  public static Map <String, String> getCharacterToNameMap () {
>     return Collections.unmodifiableMap (CHARACTER_TO_NAME);
>   }
>   public static Map <String, String> getNameToCharacterMap () {
>     return Collections.unmodifiableMap (NAME_TO_CHARACTER);
>   }
> Thanks, Philip
