simon steiner commented on PDFBOX-1701:
---------------------------------------
You can use system font as fallback:
+ LOG.warn("Changing font on <" + string + "> from <"
+ + _awtFont.getName() + "> to the default font");
+
+ Font base =
FontManager.getAwtFont(font.getNameAsString(COSName.BASE_FONT));
+ if (base == null) {
+ _awtFont = Font.decode(null).deriveFont(1f);
+ } else {
+ _awtFont = base;
+ awtFont = base;
+ }
> Suggestion: better font than the standard font

> Project: PDFBox
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Affects Versions: 2.0.0
> Environment: W7
> Reporter: Tilman Hausherr
> Priority: Minor
> Attachments: Bimbo_Historia_20070409_Esp-01-bad.png,

> pdfbox\pdfviewer\PageDrawer.java has "Fallback: we can't find anything, so we
> have to use the standard font" code. However the standard font is a sans
> serif font. My suggestion is to use several standard fonts, i.e. for
> monospace, serif, sans serif, symbol, capitals, etc.
> I tried it (see patch) on page 1 of the "Bimbo" pdf of PDFBOX-1694, and the
> result looks better than without the change. (There are still other problems
> with the next pages, I believe that there is a different cause, maybe similar
> to the "Elvia" file of PDFBOX-1689).
