So in the Ghostscript source code, we have this function here:

<code>
bool
gs_font_glyph_is_notdef(gs_font_base *bfont, gs_glyph glyph)
{
    gs_const_string gnstr;

    if (glyph == gs_no_glyph)
        return false;
    if (glyph >= gs_min_cid_glyph)
        return (glyph == gs_min_cid_glyph);
    return (bfont->procs.glyph_name((gs_font *)bfont, glyph, &gnstr) >=
0 &&
            gnstr.size == 7 && !memcmp(gnstr.data, ".notdef", 7));
}
</code>

Along with these #defines:

<code>
#define GS_NO_GLYPH ((gs_glyph)0x7fffffff)
#if arch_sizeof_long > 4
#  define GS_MIN_CID_GLYPH ((gs_glyph)0x80000000L)
#else
/* Avoid compiler warnings about signed/unsigned constants. */
#  define GS_MIN_CID_GLYPH ((gs_glyph)~0x7fffffff)
#endif
#define GS_MIN_GLYPH_INDEX (GS_MIN_CID_GLYPH | (GS_MIN_CID_GLYPH >> 1))
#define GS_GLYPH_TAG (gs_glyph)(GS_MIN_CID_GLYPH | GS_MIN_GLYPH_INDEX)
#define GS_MAX_GLYPH max_ulong
/* Backward compatibility */
#define gs_no_glyph GS_NO_GLYPH
#define gs_min_cid_glyph GS_MIN_CID_GLYPH
#define gs_max_glyph GS_MAX_GLYPH
</code>

Perhaps this is the appropriate test for notdef?
