Matt Wise commented on PDFBOX-3597:
-----------------------------------

Thanks Maruan, yes the form will be flattened and is intended for printing 
after filling out the fields from my backend app so I want to reduce the file 
size as much as possible.  Embedding the entirety of ArialUnicodeMs adds about 
15mb to the resulting PDF which is excessive.

> PDAcroForm.refreshAppearances() does not respect updated fonts

>             Project: PDFBox
>          Issue Type: Bug

>    Affects Versions: 2.0.3

> I have attached example files in the External issue URL link.
> I am trying to embed a subset of a font into my pdf after populating the 
> fields.  If I don't run refreshAppearances() the values will be put into the 
> fields, but will only be visible when the field is selected (likely another 
> bug).
> To work around this, I am trying to set the default appearance on the fields 
> manually to reflect the embedded font.  If I embed the whole font, it works 
> as expected, however when I try to embed a subset of the font it fails:
> Exception in thread "main" java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: No glyph for 
> U+540D in font AAWTXC+ArialUnicodeMS

> It would appear that after I call form.setDefaultResources with the updated 
> font, refreshAppearances is still trying to use the old font as the 
> appearance, although I may be wrong.
> Expected:
> appearances are updated, subset of font is embedded.
