-------------------------------------
Hi Tilman, thanks for your quick response (=_=? I found that after JIRA has
been upgraded, I couldn't receive notification email anymore...)
Why we want to add this feature into PDFBox?
1) Of course Asian developers need to deal with CJK text manipulation in PDF,
but Standard 14 fonts cannot cover it. (For some cases we don't need to use
special / beautiful CJK font but for default CJK font only.)
2) For backend system development, it would use Linux/Unix environment and
could not use the method you provided.
3) Maybe we change into Windows Server environment or directly copy this font
into Linux/Unix, the font usage or font redistribution licensing issues are
still exist. (As it needs to embed the font into the PDF and re-distribute to
anywhere, I don't think we can feel free to use Windows Fonts to do so.)
4) Size of PDF issues: if Adobe reader are built-in supported these CJK fonts,
why we still need to embed (or embed subset) it?
Perhaps from PDFBox's point of view, it needs to keep the whole development
100% standing with PDF spec or tries to ignore all non-standard features. If
this feature could not FORMALLY add into PDFBox, let me try to fix a new
version PDType0CJKFont class (that can use in version 2.0.4) from PDFBOX-2524.
And please include PDFBox experts (John Hewson? or Kenji Suzuki?) into here to
comment it.
