-Ressources, as Hans Hagen pointed out, the /Ressources of the page

and therefore object 13 need both /Fonts defined. 

-Encoding, as you're defining chars 97 and 98 and use 'A' and 'B' 

which are 65 and 66 in my StdEncoding table you won't get that much

page impression...

-Scaling, you need to reread the chapter about text space details. You are

defining a /FontMatrix of [0.001 etc.] which gives you a 1000x1000 glyph

coordinate system. For /A you use this (750 re), but for /B you define

a very small /F1. 

I don't have a facility to compile your f2.tex with an recent pdftex, so

i changed the abovementioned points directly in the f2.pdf. 

Here are the objects with the changes:

13 0 obj
<<
  /Font <<
    /F2 10 0 R 
    /F1 9 0 R 
  >>
  /ProcSet [/PDF /Text]
>>
endobj

10 0 obj
<<
  /Type /Font 
  /FontBBox [0 0 1000 1000]
  /FirstChar 65 
  /Widths [750 750]
  /FontMatrix [0.001 0 0 0.001 0 0]
  /Encoding 5 0 R 
  /CharProcs 4 0 R 
  /Resources 6 0 R 
  /LastChar 66 
  /Name /F2 
  /Subtype /Type3 
>>
endobj

5 0 obj
<<
  /Type /Encoding 
  /Differences [65 /A /B]
>>
endobj

2 0 obj
<<
  /Length 35 
>>
stream
 1000 0 d0 BT /F1 900 Tf (B) Tj ET endstream endobj

As far as i understand f2.tex it should be very easy to change (except for the /Ressources

entry).

Wishing a happy day
