John Hewson commented on PDFBOX-2358:
-------------------------------------
The use of FontBox's ResourceLoader in ExternalFonts is an IDE autocomplete
accident. PDFBox has its own ResourceLoader class which should have been used.
The way that CMapParser uses the FontBox ResourceLoader is more troubling,
passing resource paths from PDFBox to FontBox is not OSGI friendly. The
solution would seem to be to move the cmap resource files to FontBox, because
they are not PDF-specific.

> Key: PDFBOX-2358
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PDFBOX-2358
> Project: PDFBox
> Issue Type: Bug
> Affects Versions: 2.0.0
> Reporter: Cornelis Hoeflake
> Assignee: John Hewson
>
> ExternalFonts loads some default fonts via the
> org.apache.fontbox.util.ResourceLoader. That resourceloader uses it's own
> classloader (ResourceLoader.class.getClassLoader()) for loading the given
> resource.
> The problem is that the resource is in the PDFBox project and the
> ResourceLoader in the FontBox. In an OSGI environment this is a problem.
