However, there is still a UniqueID in the Private dictionary which should be removed too.
From the PostScript Language Reference Manual (p. 336):
When you copy a font dictionary for the purpose of creating a modified font, you should not copy the UniqueID or XUID entry. As an exception to this general rule, it is acceptable (and preferable) to retain the original UniqueID or XUID entry if the only modified entries are FontName, FontInfo, FontMatrix, or Encoding, because those changes do not affect the glyphs’ appearance or metrics.
