Andreas Lehmkühler updated PDFBOX-517:
--------------------------------------
Fix Version/s: 0.8.0-incubator
> PD Fonts do not attempt to load from the environment if an embed font cannot
> be loaded
> --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: PDFBOX-517
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PDFBOX-517
> Project: PDFBox
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: PDModel
> Affects Versions: 0.8.0-incubator
> Environment: Java
> Reporter: Antony Scerri
> Fix For: 0.8.0-incubator
>
> Attachments: PDTrueTypeFont.diff
>
>
> When one of the PD Font classes such as PDTrueTypeFont.java attempt to load
> embeded fonts (through AWT) which fail it simply resorts to using the
> standard font. In my instance an ebeded TrueType font did not contain a
> "name" table and so AWT failed to load it (not sure if thats an error in the
> PDF font or AWTs handling).
> Instead it should probably check to see if a matching font is available from
> the environment first. In conjunction with the fix in PDFBox-516 this has a
> much better chance of identifying and using the correct font for processing
> the streams contents. Attached is a patch for PDTrueTypeFont.java to
> demonstrate such a fix (this does not include any additional logging if it
> fails to find one from the environment as its a case of attempting to fix an
> already broken situation so doesnt really warrant it).
