Incorrect characters pulled from custom font

Using: https://sphilee.github.io/jsPDF-CustomFonts-support/# with this font
baloo-tamma-v3-latin.zip
Downloaded from here: https://google-webfonts-helper.herokuapp.com/fonts/baloo-tammudu?subsets=latin
With the following code:
`
doc.addFont('baloo-tamma-v3-latin-regular.ttf', 'custom', 'normal');

doc.setFont('custom');
doc.text(15, 15, 'ABCDEFabcdefgAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAB');
`

Gnerates a pdf with the following text:
!"#$%&'()*+,-!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

Base64 decoding the file using https://www.base64decode.org/ generates a ttf file which looks correct so it can't be the font data.

Exactly the same problem here: When using certain TTF fonts in the test editor I get the mentioned output while others work with no problems. Cannot seem to find a reason or pattern when or why this happens. The TTF is not damaged or corrupt, can be normally used. Any ideas..?

I've attached 2 TTFs: Academy-F2W ist not working, Autour-One is.

Academy-F2W.ttf.zip
Autour-One.ttf.zip

Obviously the char map/glyph order, or however you call it, seems to get shifted or offset for fonts like the Academy-F2W I have attached above.

This code:

doc.text(15, 15, 'ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ'
+ '\nabcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz'
+ '\n1234567890'
+ '\näöüß ÄÖÜ'
+ '\n!"§$%&/()=?'
);

Outputs the following:

!"#$%&'()*+,-./0123456789:
;<=>?@ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRST
UVWXYZ[\]^
_`abcdef
ghijklmnonpqr

Strange …

I experience the same problem.

It also happens when using the Base64 encoder on https://www.giftofspeed.com/base64-encoder/

or when uploading the files to the authors' demo page: https://sphilee.github.io/jsPDF-CustomFonts-support/

This last thing is kind of a good thing, because you first check a font in this demo. If it works there, it will work in your project.

BTW, I triend quite a lot of fonts. 75% of them did not work. Among them, "Source Sans" and "Fira Sans",... which really are quite common.
