> 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.
