-----------------------------------
Assignee: John Hewson
> Remove usage of AWT fonts
> -------------------------
>
> Key: PDFBOX-2262
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PDFBOX-2262
> Project: PDFBox
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: PDModel, Rendering
> Affects Versions: 2.0.0
> Reporter: John Hewson
> Assignee: John Hewson
>
> We're still using AWT fonts to render the "standard 14" built-in fonts, which
> causes rendering problems and encoding issues (see PDFBOX-2140). We're also
> using AWT for some fallback fonts.
> Removal of these AWT fonts isn't too difficult, we need to load the fonts
> using the existing PDFFontManager mechanism which has recently been added.
> All missing TrueType fonts loaded from disk have been using SystemFontManager
> for a number of weeks now. We might want to ship some sensible default fonts
> with PDFBox, such as the Liberation fonts (see PDFBOX-2169), in case
> PDFFontManager can't find anything suitable, rather than falling back to the
> default TTF font.
