Werner sent me the problematic font off list.  It has the followng
"interesting" properties:

A weird font matrix.  I hade said something about not handling all six
entries in a font matrix (this was w.r.t the Type 2 parser) a while
ago.  I guess this is not an "easy" feature to implement.

The encoding array references a bunch of glyphs that are not defined
in the char strings dictionary.  I consider this a bug in the font.  I
am not sure if ft2 will map a non-existant glyph to /.notdef.
