what does this message mean:
WARNING: Nonsymbolic Type 0 font: EAAAAA+CourierNewPS-BoldMT
{quote}
It means that there's a Type 0 font with the nonsymbolic flag set on its font
descriptor which means it's using StandardEncoding rather than a CMap. This
isn't in the PDF spec at all, so I've had to invent some workarounds which seem
to match Acrobat's behaviour. Because I'm not 100% sure about this I've issued
a warning when such a font is encountered.

> 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.
