----------------------------------------
Hi Richard,
for text extraction the feature is not really needed as the layout should have
been done correctly by the application creating the PDF (glyph substitution,
repositioning ...). I think two years ago or so there has been some activity
getting code in for being able to extract Arabic text. At that time the person
looking into that was happy with the result. So when the text extraction is
correct you should be fine. If that reveals a general issue please let us know.
Now for getting the feature into fontbox to handle the tables you're welcome to
help of course. Keep in mind that we have two use cases - extracting text and
putting text into PDFs (mainly for forms filling). That would also need some
work on the pdfbox side to utilize the fontbox part.
