John Hewson updated PDFBOX-2262:
--------------------------------
Description:
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 should ship some sensible default fonts with PDFBox, such as the Liberation
fonts (see PDFBOX-2169, PDFBOX-2263), in case PDFFontManager can't find
anything suitable, rather than falling back to the default TTF font, but by
default we'll probe the system for suitable fonts.
