Compliance Issue: Character Encodings

What does this mean?

Incorrect encoding is used for TrueType font [name]
The symbolic TrueType font [name] is inconsistent with font dictionary
The symbolic TrueType font [name] may not contain encoding entry specified. It has been removed.
More than one encoding in symbolic TrueType font CMap for font [name]

6.3.7 - ISO 19005-1 PDF/A Specification:

All non-symbolic TrueType fonts shall specify MacRomanEncoding or WinAnsiEncoding as the value of the Encoding entry in the font dictionary. All symbolic TrueType fonts shall not specify an Encoding entry in the font dictionary, and their font programs' “cmap” tables shall contain exactly one encoding.

NOTE: This requirement makes normative the suggested guidelines described in PDF Reference 5.5.5.
