Error while parsing an OpenType font

[chris-steema]

Expected Behavior

I've modified slightly the PdfSharpIssueSurrogate with this unique substitution:

XFont font = new XFont("ＭＳ Ｐゴシック", 20, XFontStyle.BoldItalic);

This is the MS Gothic font, and I would expect this code to execute to produce text using this font.

Actual Behavior

An error is thrown:

PdfSharp.PdfSharpException
  HResult=0x80131500
  Message=Error while parsing an OpenType font.
  Source=PdfSharp
  StackTrace:
   at PdfSharp.Fonts.OpenType.CMapTable.Read()

  This exception was originally thrown at this call stack:
    PdfSharp.Fonts.OpenType.CMapTable.Read()

Inner Exception 1:
InvalidOperationException: Font has no usable platform or encoding ID. It cannot be used with PDFsharp.

Steps to Reproduce the Behavior

Modify the PdfSharpIssueSurrogate as indicated.

I guess this is a known limitation of the current implementation, not a bug.
