I am trying to work out why I'm getting a bunch of
`java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: No glyph for U+0057 in font
Helvetica-Bold` errors on a Windows 8 dev environment, but not on my local
Windows 7 environment.
I built the trunk from scratch, with: `mvn -DskipTests=true install`
on my machine (Win 7), collected the jars and made a very rudimentary test
package, by dumping all the jars into a subfolder libs/ and copying the
`org/apache/pdfbox/examples `class files to the same directory, to see if the
HelloWorld program works.
The [HelloWorld program][1] creates a file, called test.pdf with the message
"WHY" as requested, but when I run it on a new machine, I get the following:
C:\EAP-6.3.0\PDFBOXTESTING>java -cp ".;libs/*"
org.apache.pdfbox.examples.pdmodel.HelloWorld test.pdf WHY
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: No glyph
for U+0057 in font Helvetica-Bold

I installed Adobe Reader XI on that computer, in case it needed the fonts from
Adobe, installed on the system, or who knows.
It's not finding `U+0057`, which is a W, and in my testing, it wasn't finding a
bunch of stuff. It basically didn't find anything. so something is
fundamentally wrong, maybe the operating system has provided a bad font?
