Codes seem to be in place but doesn't match actual font in T2A encoding. 
For ex. I have cyrillic capital a in font on 00C1 where in pdfr-def this 
is Aacute. According to enco-utf my 00C1 in font should map to 0410 
position (I hope this is understandable description). Maybe there is 
some switch to enable such mapping? I don't understand these 
encoding/mapping issues enough to create necessary table myself. Maybe 
you can provide some example, so I will be able to help?

P. S. Sorry for late response.
