Is it equivalent to a regular character, eg a capital A or whatever ? If 
not (its a symbol) then the exact position is irrelevant. However its 
still worth using an Encoding (simply use the positions incrementally 
from 1) rather than glyphshow, because glyphshow usually doesn't cache 
the glyph bitmap, so its slow.

Only if the font is broken. If the font isn't broken you catch the 
error, but then what are you going to do ? You still can't draw the 
glyph.....

Possibly they are TrueType fonts ? How are you determining the type ?
