It looks like you are trying to run a ghost script program on a PDF created using PDFNet, and ghostscript is complaining about bad unicode mapping?

If you open the PDF in a PDF reader, such as Evince, or Adobe Reader, can you select and copy+paste the text into a text editor? Is it correct?

Did you create the PDF file? If so, what is the code you used to create the font, and create a text run? You might want to take a closer look at the ElementBuilder sample.
