Henning von Bargen commented on PDFBOX-4565:
--------------------------------------------
Similar problem with interface FontMapper and FontMapperImpl:
I want to supply a custom FontProvider. But the setProvider method is not
visible using the interface FontMapper, and the FontMapperImpl class is not
public...
This makes supplying a custom FontProvider impossible.

> Key: PDFBOX-4565
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PDFBOX-4565
> Project: PDFBox
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: FontBox, PDModel
> Affects Versions: 2.0.15
> Reporter: Henning von Bargen
> Priority: Trivial
> Original Estimate: 10m
> Remaining Estimate: 10m
>
> The constructors for the classes PDPanoseClassification and CIDSystemInfo are
> package-visible only (not public).
> This makes coding a different FontProvider similar to FileSystemFontProvider
> an unnecessarily hard task.
> Background:
> I'm working on replacing iText with PDFBox for Eclipse BIRT. One task is to
> support BIRTs fontconfig.xml for locating TTF fonts etc.
> Obviously I need something simlar to the FileSystemFontProvider, but instead
> of using the file system directly, use the information in BIRTs
> fontconfig.xml file.
> So I started with copying FileSystemFontProvider to a new class
> ConfigFontProvider in a different package.
> Now this fails because the classes PDPanoseClassification and CIDSystemInfo
> have non-public (package-only) constructors. So I'd have to copy a whole
> bunch of source files in order to make this work.
