[reportlab-users] Surprising clash of encoders with pikepdf (with patch)

[Lennart Regebro]

So, the missing characters like BREVE were indeed missing and overlooked,
and this has been fixed now:

https://github.com/qpdf/qpdf/issues/606

As for the other undefined characters, they are listed in Appendix D in
such a way that I think it's reasonable to just pass them through, even
though they are undefined, although raising an error is also reasonable. It
is, after all undefined...
