> Asked on SO, Tilman suggests I open a JIRA:
> http://stackoverflow.com/questions/29111310/pdfbox-2-0-0-type1fonts-working-on-one-computer-not-another
> 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 2012 Server 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

> org.apache.pdfbox.examples.pdmodel.HelloWorld.main(HelloWorld.java:59)
> 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?
