Sorry, something went wrong.
For a Type 3 font, its encoding is entirely defined by its `Encoding` dictionary (which we create), so there's no reason to use a specific encoding like `cp1252`. Instead, switch to Latin-1, which corresponds exactly to the first 256 character codes in Unicode, and can be mapped directly with `ord`.
