John Hewson commented on PDFBOX-2262: ------------------------------------- [~ssteiner1], version 1.x of the Liberation fonts were under the GPL, but version 2.0 onwards are under the SIL Open Font License. > Remove usage of AWT fonts > ------------------------- > > Key: PDFBOX-2262 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PDFBOX-2262 > Project: PDFBox > Issue Type: Improvement > Components: PDModel, Rendering > Affects Versions: 2.0.0 > Reporter: John Hewson > Assignee: John Hewson > > We're still using AWT fonts to render the "standard 14" built-in fonts, which > causes rendering problems and encoding issues (see PDFBOX-2140). We're also > using AWT for some fallback fonts. > Removal of these AWT fonts isn't too difficult, we need to load the fonts > using the existing PDFFontManager mechanism which has recently been added. > All missing TrueType fonts loaded from disk have been using SystemFontManager > for a number of weeks now. > We should ship some sensible default fonts with PDFBox, such as the > Liberation fonts (see PDFBOX-2169, PDFBOX-2263), in case PDFFontManager can't > find anything suitable, rather than falling back to the default TTF font, but > by default we'll probe the system for suitable fonts. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.2#6252)
