> Key: PDFBOX-675
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PDFBOX-675
> Project: PDFBox
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Reporter: Daniel Wilson
> Assignee: Daniel Wilson
> Priority: Minor
> Fix For: 1.2.0
>
> Attachments: dot_net.patch
>
>
> The current .Net build script (ant build.NET) is for IKVM 0.38, released 15
> months ago.
> Since that time, IKVM has grown to support a larger portion of the Java
> object model. I am currently investigating the possibility of improved font
> support, as our IKVM-compiled version crashes if PDType1CFont.prepareAWTFont
> is called.
> The downside of the upgrade will be loss of support for the .Net 1.1
> Framework. In my opinion, that is not a big deal as very few projects still
> rely on it.
> I welcome opinions before committing any changes.
