Currently also for non-reencoded Type1 fonts the /Encoding entry and its /Encoding object with the /Differences array are generated from the /Encoding in the font, duplicating it unnecessarily. This happens particularily with the many CM fonts. By the tiny patch to writefont.c this /Encoding entry and the array object will not be generated and written any more for non-reencoded Type1 fonts. The PDF reader application will then take the /Encoding from the embedded font file. Testing welcome.
