Tilman Hausherr commented on PDFBOX-3649:
-----------------------------------------
Sorry, I still don't get it. PDFBox does indeed not have built in fonts like
PDType0CJKFont.JAPANESE_SANS_SERIF because the PDF specification doesn't have
it. PDF just has the standard 14 fonts. Now if we would create a PDF that
references such fonts, we would not be able to display these with PDFBox if we
don't have them installed because these fonts aren't embedded.
Why not use the fonts directly, as in this example:
{code}
PDFont font = PDType0Font.load(document, new
File("c:/windows/fonts/simhei.ttf"));
{code}
This way the font subset would be embedded and such a file would display on any
system.
