--------------------------------------------------------------
The file from PDFBOX-563 has a similar issue related to "Standard 14" fonts,
only in this case the font is a Type 0 font, which shouldn't be eligible to be
treated as a "Standard 14", yet it is anyway. A simple experiment of changing
"Arial" for "Xrial" in the PDF file causes Acrobat to render the missing glyphs
which means it is treating the name "Arial" in a special manner. (Note that the
Adobe supplement specifies Arial as an alias for Helvetica).
Because we're not expecting a Type0 font to have any special "Standard 14"
handling, the fix will be more complex.
