Converted Font Default to IDENTITY-H Encoding in PDF

This new encoding permits all characters in the font to be available simply by specifiying the Unicode character. Not all fonts can be opened this way. For example, the Base 14 fonts in PDF must be opened with CP-1252 encoding. This is the back-up encoding in case IDENTITY-H fails.

Added 18 arrows to the character set.

Need to:

  • Add the four corner arrows to the character set
  • Make Symbola a standard font in the distribution. Its inclusion should nearly complete the font sets (Junicode, Bitstream Vera Sans, Bullet fonts, and Symbola).

Pending: Checking with Atul re HTML plugin and scheme for loading the plugin for debugging in IntelliJ.
