RE: How to make embedded font readable?
I have had problems reading and using PDF files that were created in another application and using embedded fonts. My simple matter was to print these PDFs. But there was always a font substitution used by pdfbox that really did not work for me. I think there is an open issue regarding this and it would be nice to see it resolved. If I remember right the problem was related to an incomplete font descriptor or maybe the whole font library wasn't there. I have had to use another library to print PDFs but I don't like it. It is not as finished as this library. But at least it knows how to use the font library that is embedded in the PDF.

Please create an issue on JIRA [1] and attach a sample pdf to it.
