Christian Brandt updated PDFBOX-3255:
-------------------------------------
Attachment: TEST.pdf
The error can be reproduced by trying to set field "tenderChanges" value to
"ab". Note that hyphen is actually a soft hyphen (c2 ad in UTF-8).
> Reasonable way to handle missing characters in font

> Hello,
> We have an issue with setting form field values if the input contains
> characters that cannot be rendered with the associated font. The system
> throws similar exception to:
> java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: U+0308 ('dieresiscmb') is not available
> in this font's encoding: MacRomanEncoding with differences
> Currently this is problematic to be handled outside the framework because
> based on my understanding (please correct me if I'm wrong) the caller does
> not have a way to figure out what font will be eventually used and therefore
> which characters are not renderable.
> What we would ultimately like, is that the library would optionally replace
> unrenderable characters with some another existing character (e.g. space)
> instead of failing the call, or that the library would provide a way to
> recover from this error so that the user would be able to call the method
> again with altered input.
