 ===== Monster from the wild =====
+CMaps are not well defined. Therefore, there are some interesting variations of them in the wild. Here is a small selection of some issues.

 This can be seen often. These illegal mappings are collected into the ''#unmapped'' variable of a Mappings object.

+Here, only the first mapping matches the code space. All others fall outside of it, because the second byte has to be between <00> and <04>.
+==== Wrong PostScript ====
-See [[postscript#exception_handling_example]]
+On one occasion, I saw a CMap where the PostScript used a non-existing operator (''/find'' instead of ''/findresource''). See the [[postscript#exception_handling_example]] on the PostScript page.
