OK.

I guess you have to map this encoding to Unicode for a uniform
handling.  This is, you expose everything in the PDF as Unicode to the
user, regardless of the real font encoding.

If you are talking about Adobe stuff, I can't help.  There already
exist various libraries for PDF manipulation that you should consult.
FreeType's job is simply to render fonts.
