   Seems to me that this can be solved by passing by glyphs with the correct codePoints field to pdfkit _addGlyphs. However, the fontkit string-indices branch erases this field from Glyph.

   @devongovett why did you do that? If present, we can use codePoints to fill in unicode values on pdfkit side and solve this issue, right?

   @devongovett sorry for bothering you! But I'm stuck in here. How can I do to access a glyph codePoints now that it's not part of Glyph attributes anymore? I need this data to fix copy-pasting on pdfkit and encode glyphs for standard fonts. Thanks in advance!

   You'd need the original string that the glyphs were constructed with, and the string indexes of the glyphs. Then you can just slice the string to get the code points.

   Thanks for your answer!
   So you suggest to pass codePoints to the _addGlyphs method?
