Just a lurker chiming in here... If John Hewson's statement is true,
doesn't the substitution solve this?

I have a custom FontMapping.Properties
<https://github.com/qzindustries/qz-print/blob/1.8-pdfbox/pdfbox_1.8.4_qz/src/org/apache/pdfbox/resources/FontMapping.properties#L21>
 (github.com) that I use for this stuff because the font replacement on
Linux seems to be lacking for many standard fonts.  If an equivalent
exists, shouldn't the project try to use it?

I personally don't like the idea of copying fonts from an Adobe area into a
systems area, especially as a recommendation for using a Java library.
Something feels wrong about that, personally. :) $0.02
