Loading TTF font files from the classpath
-----------------------------------------
Key: PDFBOX-732
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PDFBOX-732
Project: PDFBox
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: PDModel
Affects Versions: 1.1.0
Reporter: Neil McErlean
Currently (pdfbox 1.1.0 & 1.2.0 snapshot) TTF font files can only be loaded
from the file system as PDTrueTypeFont exposes two load methods:
public static PDTrueTypeFont loadTTF(PDDocument, String)
public static PDTrueTypeFont loadTTF(PDDocument, File)
The first wraps the String in a java.io.File object and delegates to the
second, so all TTF reading is from the file system.
It would be useful to be able to read TTF files from the classpath - or indeed
from any arbitrary stream.
Could we have a third method?:
public static PDTrueTypeFont loadTTF(PDDocument, InputStream)
This would allow TTFs to be loaded like so:
PDTrueTypeFont.load(myDoc,
MyClass.class.getClassLoader().getResourceAsStream("myFont.ttf"));
