John Hewson commented on PDFBOX-2262: ------------------------------------- {quote} what does this message mean: WARNING: Nonsymbolic Type 0 font: EAAAAA+CourierNewPS-BoldMT {quote} It means that there's a Type 0 font with the nonsymbolic flag set on its font descriptor which means it's using StandardEncoding rather than a CMap. This isn't in the PDF spec at all, so I've had to invent some workarounds which seem to match Acrobat's behaviour. Because I'm not 100% sure about this I've issued a warning when such a font is encountered. > 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 > Fix For: 2.0.0 > > Attachments: Basiswissen-Vorschriften.pdf, > Basiswissen-Vorschriften.pdf-1.png, > Basiswissen-Vorschriften.pdf-1.png-diff.png, > Basiswissen-Vorschriften.pdf-9.png, > Basiswissen-Vorschriften.pdf-9.png-diff.png, > ELVIA-Reiserucktritt-Vollschutz.pdf-1.png, FreeSansTest.pdf, > PDFBOX-1094-094730.pdf-1.png, PDFBOX-1770.pdf-1.png, > PDF_Spec-Shading-23.pdf-1.png, PDF_Spec-Shading-23.pdf-1.png-diff.png, > bugzilla867751.pdf-2.png, bugzilla867751.pdf-2.png-diff.png, > bugzilla886049.pdf, bugzilla886049.pdf-1.png, test_1fd9a_test.pdf > > > We're still using AWT fonts to render the "standard 14" built-in fonts, which > causes rendering problems and encoding issues (see PDFBOX-2140).
