Daniel Fischer updated PDFBOX-5348:
-----------------------------------
Description:
If you install a new font on a windows OS you can do that in two ways (e.g.
from within the Windows Explorer:
# For all users.
# Only for the logged in user.
Option 1 installs the font into directory %windir%\fonts .
Option 2 installs it into directory %LOCALAPPDATA%\Microsoft\Windows\Fonts of
the current user.
If I use Option 2 for font installation, the FontMapper can not find the font
and guesses a fallback font.
I use the FontMapper like that:
{{final FontMapping<FontBoxFont> firstMapping =
FontMappers.instance().getFontBoxFont(pFontName, null);}}
After debugging IMHO option 2 should be added to the Windows Font autodetection
[org.apache.fontbox.util.autodetect.WindowsFontDirFinder|https://svn.apache.org/viewvc/pdfbox/trunk/fontbox/src/main/java/org/apache/fontbox/util/autodetect/WindowsFontDirFinder.java?view=markup]
?
Interestingly on [Unix like OSes the user's home font folder is taken into
account|https://svn.apache.org/viewvc/pdfbox/trunk/fontbox/src/main/java/org/apache/fontbox/util/autodetect/UnixFontDirFinder.java?revision=1888485&view=markup#l35].
