Thanks for that!

Hmm.  Please report this to the gs people.  Either this is a bug in
the documentation, or it's really a problem with the implementation.

This is not a problem per se, given that a PDF interpreter should be
able to decompose glyph names, provided the names followsthe Adobe
Glyph List (AGL) rules.  For example, a glyph called `i_j' should be
automatically split into `i' and `j'.
