Hi,

we‘re using PdfBox 2.x successfully to create PDF documents. We only use the 14 
Adobe Standard fonts which are not embedded in the PDF. Everything works well.

However, in the server environment we see a couple of the following warnings:

WARN org.apache.pdfbox.pdmodel.font.PDType1Font Using fallback font 
LiberationSans for base font Times-Roman
...

While looking around for an explanation I‘ve found the following comment that 
hints at these warnings to be only relevant for rendering PDF files using 
PdfBox and can be ignored for PDF creation (our use case):

https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PDFBOX-3659?focusedCommentId=15833004&page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels%3Acomment-tabpanel#comment-15833004

Can someone confirm this?
Yes because I wrote that

Would it be possible to change PdfBox in a way to not display these warnings 
when they are not actually relevant for the use case (PDF creation) or to 
change something in the way we use PdfBox to prevent this warning?


No (PDFBox no longer "knows" there that it is generating a PDF) but you could change your logging config to exclude that class or to exclude warnings. Or (best solution) just install the missing fonts.

I was thinking about using a custom FontProvider that reports fonts as not a 
fallback font, shutting down the warning but I‘m not totally sure about the 
consequences :)

Thanks!
