---------------------------------------

             Summary: Can't create text with PDFType1Font.ZAPF_DINGBATS or 
PDFType1Font.SYMBOL without installed fonts
                 Key: PDFBOX-3659
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PDFBOX-3659
             Project: PDFBox
          Issue Type: Bug
    Affects Versions: 2.0.4
            Reporter: Tilman Hausherr


On a system with no fonts, it is not possible to create PDF files that use the 
Standard 14 Symbol and Zapf Dingbats fonts. The current code tries to look at 
the generic fallback font (LiberationSans), which of course doesn't have it. 
But this isn't needed - we have all the metrics needed for the standard 14 
fonts and don't need any actual font.

Solution: change {{PDType1Font.encode()}} so that it doesn't use the generic 
font for standard 14 fonts.
