Tilman Hausherr commented on PDFBOX-2262:
-----------------------------------------
I suspect that the reason is that the fonts are named differently on W7 than on
your OS. You might want to change the exception text "No font available on the
system" to something more useful :-) Maybe what font name was searched, for
what characteristics. I made a small modification and got this:
{code}No font available on the system for 'Times'{code}
Indeed, the font is named TimesNewRoman on windows, that name is used in the
trunk code of SystemFontManager.java.

> 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.
