> I tried to follow workaround suggested in PDFBOX-3138 to be able to display 
> czech national characters in PDF form field. I created sample form in 
> OpenOffice 4.1.3 (file sampleform.pdf) and I created code that adds Type 0 
> font to existing PDF font and then it replaces current font used in form 
> field. 
> I've got 3 problems:
> 1. After using PDFont font = PDType0Font.load(doc, new 
> File("fonts/TIMESS__.ttf"));
> the font is not loaded into PDF document resources. It is loaded there once 
> it is used in content stream. OK, I created new dummy page and created dummy 
> text. Finally I can remove the dummy page and the font is still loaded in PDF 
> document resources.
> 2. Czech characters are not displayed, you can see just strange square chars. 
> I investigated once I use the czech chars somewhere in content stream in my 
> dummy text then all is displayed correctly (file sampleform_filled.pdf).
> Ok, I did the workaround and I have now  file sampleform_filled_workaround.pdf
> 3. Now when in Acrobat Reader I click in field with correctly displayed text 
> I can see error "Cannot extract the embedded font 'AAAPNQ+TimesSansSerif'. 
> Some characters may not display or print correctly." This can be workarounded 
> if I flatten the form using acroForm.flatten(); ( file 
> sampleform_filled_workaround_flatten.pdf)
> I'm not sure about root causes for all 3 issues but the behaviour is strange 
> so they should be investigated. Attaching java project and PDFs
