OK.

Sorry for being imprecise.  I've meant a CFF not within a SFNT
wrapper.

Well, the thing is that it is normally possible to avoid the `div'
operator completely since non-integer numbers can be directly
represented in Type 2.  And looking into the font, all charstrings
look indeed like the following.

 512 222 3390 29 div  
 rmoveto
 1950 29 div
 vlineto
 56 hlineto
 -1950 29 div
 vlineto
 -1535 29 div
 3390 29 div
 rmoveto

So I'm really suprised that Adobe's converter didn't catch this.
