Summary: TTF encoding issues
Key: PDFBOX-2789
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PDFBOX-2789
Project: PDFBox
Issue Type: Bug
Components: PDModel
Affects Versions: 2.0.0
Reporter: John Hewson
Assignee: John Hewson
I've noticed some issues when trying to encode text using embedded TTF fonts
(e.g. filling forms). There's a special case where we use the font's built-in
encoding via the cmap finding method described in the PDF spec. The problem is
that in this special case, we treat the Encoding as null, which breaks some of
the assumptions of the encode(...) method.
The first thing to do is to handle the case for TTF where encoding is null.
A second idea is to synthesise and Encoding for the TTF, so that a PDTrueType
font has a Encoding just like any other font. That's a bit more tricky, but it
would be conceptually much cleaner.
