The format of the charstring data, and therefore the
method of interpretation, is specified by the Charstring-Type
operator in the Top DICT. The CharstringType
operator has a default value of 2 indicating the Type 2
charstring format which was designed in conjunction with
CFF. Type 1 charstrings are documented in the "Adobe
Type 1 Font Format" published by Addison-Wesley. Type 2
charstrings are described in Adobe Technical Note #5177:
"Type 2 Charstring Format." Other charstring types may
also be supported by this method.

It's not as clear as it could be, but I think it's clear enough to say you
interpreted it correctly...
