Hi Tilman, It looks like I may need to go back to 2.x for now. The on-demand table loading removed in PDFBOX-5460 ( https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PDFBOX-5460) was important for me, and the header-only mode added in PDFBOX-5847 ( https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PDFBOX-5847), which might have served as a sort of replacement, doesn't include all of the information I'm currently reading (e.g. units per em or horizontal header info), since it's very focused on just supporting the needs of FileSystemFontProvider.scanFonts(). Is a more generic on-demand load mode completely off the table for 3.0?
