That "only thing that's missing" is a very very big thing, and difficult to get correct. And where does it say it's storing font data for the symbols?

- Dylan16807 13y agoA font doesn't need to be anything more than a series of bitmaps. And then each character location on the image, ignoring errors, references one of these bitmaps. That's how documents with embedded bitmap fonts generally work. That mapping isn't a very big thing. Sometimes text-based PDFs don't even have it, and you don't notice unless you try to copy out and get the wrong letters.
