Yep, this is what I had in mind a couple of days ago. Still, the
exchange has to be performed by the target service which I do not
control. I don't consider them to read the PDF spec like me and replay
this approach.
We likely will consider the non-Unicode font for only this case. WE just
need \d, A-Z and maybe % or alike.
