    By "contains all Adobe's in-house production names" do you mean the
    glyphs U+F6BD - U+F8FE? If so, these were in AGL 1.2 (Oct 98) as well.

    I had heard that there could be a potential for problems with Acrobat
    when distilling with fonts which had uniXXXX names for glyphs for which
    AGL names existed?
