      Note that for CJK (Chinese, Japanese, and Korean) fonts, the host font system’s
      font name is often encoded in the host operating system’s script. For instance, a
      Japanese font may have a name that is written in Japanese using some (unidenti-
      fied) Japanese encoding. Thus, TrueType font names may contain multiple-byte
      character codes, each of which requires multiple characters to represent in a PDF
      name object (using the # notation to quote special characters as needed).


5.5.3 Font Subsets

      PDF 1.1 permits documents to include subsets of Type 1 and TrueType fonts.
      The font and font descriptor that describe a font subset are slightly different
      from those of ordinary fonts. These differences allow an application to recog-
      nize font subsets and to merge documents containing different subsets of the
      same font. (For more information on font descriptors, see Section 5.7, “Font De-
      scriptors.”)

      For a font subset, the PostScript name of the font—the value of the font’s
      BaseFont entry and the font descriptor’s FontName entry—begins with a tag
      followed by a plus sign (+). The tag consists of exactly six uppercase letters; the
      choice of letters is arbitrary, but different subsets in the same PDF file must have
      different tags. For example, EOODIA+Poetica is the name of a subset of Poetica®, a
      Type 1 font. (See implementation note 63 in Appendix H.)
