HI,
When I tired to add the TrajanPro-Bold font in my document, I am getting the following error, 

Use of uninitialized value in numeric gt (>) at /usr/local/share/perl/
+5.10.0/PDF/API2/Basic/TTF/Cmap.pm line 258.
Steps followed :

my $font_dir = '/usr/share/fonts/opentype';
my $pdf = PDF::API2->new( -file => $args[0] );
$pdf->mediabox('Letter');
PDF::API2::addFontDirs($font_dir);
my $f3 = $pdf->ttfont('TrajanPro-Bold.otf', -encoding=>'latin1');

[download]
The .otf file is present in the local directory, as well as in the $font_dir.

Event after this error, the font is visible, as expected, in the pdf document on Windows, but on MAC the font is not even visible.

Please let me know if I am doing anything wrong in this or if there is a different way to achieve this.

Thanks, Manu
