Oops, that didn't work. This one works for acroread, xpdf, and
ghostscript:

  (pdf:with-document ()
    (pdf:with-page ()
      (let ((font (pdf:get-font "Symbol" nil)))
        (pdf:in-text-mode
          (pdf:set-font font 36.0)
          (pdf:move-text 100 800)
          (pdf:draw-text "abcdefghABCDEFGH"))))
    (pdf:write-document "foo.pdf"))

Now the encoding gets listed as "built-in" by acroread in the "properties
-> fonts" menu, as opposed to the "Windows" default encoding.
