I think there are unsolved issues. Now there are two methods for adding CMaps: (a) \pdffontattr, package cmap (b) \pdfgentounicode, glyphtounicode.tex
Both methods have its limitations, e.g. (b) only works for Type 1 fonts. Thus you could need both methods to cover all fonts, but the methods doesn't know each other, thus fonts can end up with two CMap tables.

Message: a workaround for this problem is available in pdftex stable (1.40.11-beta). A primitive was introduced to disable the tounicode entry generated by \pdfgentounicode if needed. Minimal test file: ,--------, \pdfcompresslevel=0 \input glyphtounicode \pdfgentounicode=1 \font\f=cmb10 \pdfnobuiltintounicode\f Hello, \f world! \bye `--------` ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can respond by visiting: http://sarovar.org/tracker/?func=detail&atid=493&aid=4291&group_id=106
