16
17       The following information is listed for each font:
18
19       name   the font name, exactly as given in the PDF file (potentially in‐

28

30
31       uni    "yes"  if  there  is an explicit "ToUnicode" map in the PDF file
32              (the absence of a ToUnicode map doesn't  necessarily  mean  that
33              the text can't be converted to Unicode)
