A type 3 font can contain any number of glyphs. But the Encoding value is always a 256 character array, limiting you to only using 256 of the glyphs.
ToUnicode does not help at all; it gives a Unicode equivalent of encoding positions.
To use more characters, if you MUST use type 3 fonts (which is not usually a good idea in itself) you would define multiple fonts and switch between them.
