Petr Slaby commented on PDFBOX-2262:
------------------------------------
[~tilman]: Not really, or not easily. Given the amount of changes in pdfbox and
the pile of other work I have, I gave up updating my pdfbox test suite in the
last few months. I have just noticed the semicolon because of a warning I can
see in Eclipse on that line (empty control flow statement). The condition
should either not be there at all as it does nothing, or the semicolon should
be removed. For the moment, I suggest to wait for John's opinion, rather than
spending time in running test suites. I think he will know what the code is
supposed to do.

> 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.
