-------------------------------------------------------------------
Wouldn't it be better to check upfront using the PDFont classes if a specific
character is available? Or check with the fontbox based classes?
In addition if you change the font you might also need to adjust some spacing
if you do it within a single word so it looks good. Such functionality would
sit on top of PDPageContentStream as it's some kind of layout
handling/formatting.
But maybe I didn't fully understand your request/use case.

> Currently {{PDPageContentStream}} is final.
> There are some situations where it would be useful to define our own
> {{PDPageContentStream}}.
> For example, in my use-case I want to be able to try multiple fonts in case
> the characters in the text are not all in one font. The library I'm using
> accepts {{PDPageContentStream}} instances, so it would be much easier to pass
> a subclass of {{PDPageContentStream}} with the desired behavior rather than
> overhaul the library itself.
