Andreas Lehmkühler commented on PDFBOX-490:
-------------------------------------------
All suggested solutions are based on font substitution which is already part of
PDFBox and will only work in very special cases.
IMHO the one and only solution is to implement a TTF reader to read all
necessary information to create glyphs on our own. I'm doing some progess using
some batik code. I hope there will be more soon.
