PDF text as Unicode copied from any PDF viewer shows odd signs. #40

As in topic, when you create some pdf with unicode fonts (IDENTIFY_W in 
BaseFont) and you want to copy text from it, you recive lots of strange signs. 
That makes for example "Search" mode and copy from PDF as useless. Has anyone 
found solution on that?

You can check it by clicking: http://89.234.211.20/_marcinw/test.pdf. Just try 
to copy and paste selected text from pdf. How to fix it? The font base is 
Identity_H and must be like that.
