[pdftex] AR 5 not working with pdftex?

[Tom Kacvinsky]

More info:

I took one of the problematic files Bob sent me and added an Encoding object.
No go.  For the fully embdedded font, Acrobat still thinks the font uses the
built-in encoding, and not a custom encoding.  So the built-in encoding
is used, and, again, the duplicate entries are stripped.  Foo!
