You can also create a directory ".fonts" in your user home directory and
put the fonts (usually .ttf files) there.
Here's the code that shows where PDFBox searches for fonts on unix systems:
protected String[] getSearchableDirectories()
{
return new String[] { System.getProperty("user.home") +
"/.fonts", // user
"/usr/local/fonts", // local
"/usr/local/share/fonts", // local shared
"/usr/share/fonts", // system
"/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts" // X
};
}

Thank you for your response! Does any option exist to place a bunch of
fonts on a folder on the RedHat Enterprise Linux server and reference them
via a properties file (or load from classpath)? Trying to see if we can
avoid involving the System Administrators to find the correct installers
that will contain these 14 fonts. I'd rather assemble this myself and
provide it for use on the server. Not sure if the newer versions support
property files to load .TTF fonts.
Thanks
Derryl.

First post on this list.
my SO question -
https://stackoverflow.com/questions/59168828/pdfbox-2-0-17-fonts-on-linux
I am converting a page in a PDF document to bytes and then constructing
an
image out of it.
On Windows, the image is constructed fine. On Linux (RedHat), the letters
on the image look smudged (overlap each other)
In the logs (weblogic), i see the following indicating the fonts required
are missing on Linux.

How can supply the missing fonts on Linux? I see references to using a
properties file (PDFBox_External_Fonts.properties) on versions before 2.
What can i do on pdfbox version 2.0.17? I am unable to find any
documentation on how to proceed. Is there a location within the
pdfbox.jar
i can place them? I would ideally like to use a property file to point
the
location of the .ttf fonts instead of having to get them installed on the
linux server.
