Error in using Noto otf fonts with perl API2 pdf

Vote count:

I am trying to create pdf file in perl using Google Noto fonts. I have tried with ttf and it works fine. When I try to change the font to otf, get the error.

requested cmap '' not installed at PDF-API2-0.73/lib//PDF/API2/Resource/CIDFont/TrueType/FontFile.pm line 66.

Here is my sample code which works with ttf font.

#!/usr/bin/perl
use strict;
use warnings;
use lib 'PDF-API2-0.73/lib/';


use PDF::API2;

my $text = "A sample text using Noto TTF";

my $pdf  = PDF::API2->new();
my $page = $pdf->page;
my $txt = $page->text;

my $font = $pdf->ttfont('C:/temp/fonts/NotoSans-Bold.ttf');        

$txt->font($font, 25);
$txt->translate(200, 550);
$txt->fillcolor('black');
$txt->text($text);

$pdf->saveas("Noto-TTF.pdf");

When I change to otf by replacing ttf with otf my $font = $pdf->ttfont('C:/temp/fonts/NotoSansCJKkr-Light.otf');

I start seeing the error

I have seen people are able to work with otf fonts, not necessarily NOTO so I think this is possible.

Can some one please explain me if what mistake I am doing ?

I am on windows cygwin with PDF-API2-0.73

Note : I am perl newbie.
