John Hewson updated PDFBOX-1701:
--------------------------------
Summary: Better font than the standard font (was: Suggestion: better font
than the standard font)
> Better font than the standard font

> Key: PDFBOX-1701
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PDFBOX-1701
> Project: PDFBox
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: Rendering
> Affects Versions: 2.0.0
> Environment: W7
> Reporter: Tilman Hausherr
> Priority: Minor
> Attachments: Bimbo_Historia_20070409_Esp-01-bad.png,
> Bimbo_Historia_20070409_Esp-01-good.png, PDFBOX-1701.patch
>
>
> pdfbox\pdfviewer\PageDrawer.java has "Fallback: we can't find anything, so we
> have to use the standard font" code. However the standard font is a sans
> serif font. My suggestion is to use several standard fonts, i.e. for
> monospace, serif, sans serif, symbol, capitals, etc.
> I tried it (see patch) on page 1 of the "Bimbo" pdf of PDFBOX-1694, and the
> result looks better than without the change. (There are still other problems
> with the next pages, I believe that there is a different cause, maybe similar
> to the "Elvia" file of PDFBOX-1689).
