Gents, I'm playing with the PdfContentStreamProcessor - doing some text extraction testing - in iTextSharp (5.4.2) and I'm finding that Type3 fonts are not supported. No text is extracted and no errors are thrown even though the encoding is present and is straight ASCII. It appears that CMapAwareDocumentFont and the parent DocumentFont classes do not support Type3. Didn't see any Type1 support either, but support for TrueType and Type0 appears to be present and the Type1 support may be part of that although it didn't jump out at me.
Any plans on adding this support in the foreseeable future? If not, can somebody give me an idea of what would be a reasonable way to roll my own? BTW, PdfBox has no problems in terms of text extraction using Type3 fonts, at least not in the testing that I've done so far, but I prefer using iTextSharp for this if I can get it to work.
