Change in PDSimpleFont

[Dalley Oliver]

Hi,

This is my first post here, so hello to you.

I use the pdfbox to print pdfs that were generated with the api from
openoffice.

There was something wrong with the fonds in the print and i fonud that
the fonds in oo pdfs were not used from pdfbox because the fond in java
could not handle it.

So i changed the PDSimpleFond that it tries to find the fond in the
systemand it worked for me. Here is the change:

    /**
     * {@inheritDoc}
     */
    public void drawString( String string, Graphics g, float fontSize, 
            AffineTransform at, float x, float y ) throws IOException
    {
        Font _awtFont = getawtFont();

        // mdavis - fix fontmanager.so/dll on
sun.font.FileFont.getGlyphImage
        // for font with bad cmaps?
        // Type1 fonts are not affected as they don't have cmaps
        if (!isType1Font() && _awtFont.canDisplayUpTo(string) != -1) { 
          
          _awtFont = new Font(_awtFont.getFontName(),
_awtFont.getStyle(),_awtFont.getSize());
          if(_awtFont.canDisplayUpTo(string) != -1)
          {
                  log.warn("Changing font on <" + string + "> from <"
                    + _awtFont.getName() + "> to the default font");
                  _awtFont = Font.decode(null); 
          }  
        }

        Graphics2D g2d = (Graphics2D)g;
        g2d.setRenderingHint( RenderingHints.KEY_ANTIALIASING,
RenderingHints.VALUE_ANTIALIAS_ON );
        writeFont(g2d, at, _awtFont, x, y, string);
    }
I use this changed version in a comercial product so i would like to
give the change i made back to the project. 

The question now is, what do i have to do? should i check this into svn?
