In particular the procedure FF (makes a copy of a standard font with a different Encoding) makes certain assumptions, i.e. that a font has a CharStrings dict containing the character definitions, which is true for Type 1 (built in) but not for Type 3 (user defined) - these use CharProcs. Also it assumes that the font does not have its own Metrics entry (true for built-in fonts, not true for Type 3).
