CharSet is a byte string formatted as a PostScript array of glyph names, such as (/A /B /C). It lists all the glyphs present in a Type 1 font subset.

Viewers can use CharSet to determine which character codes a subset font can render without decompressing and parsing the font program. It is not used for TrueType or CFF fonts.
