John Hewson commented on PDFBOX-2360:
-------------------------------------

PDCIDFont used to extend PDFont, since they are now seperate it makes it
difficult to write common code for both. Could they both implement a interface
with "public PDFontDescriptor getFontDescriptor()".
{quote}
That's because CIDFonts are not fonts, they are "font-like objects" to quote
the PDF spec. It's certainly possible to have their common aspects implement an
interface though, I'll take a look at this. Maybe "PDFontLike".
P.S. I'm happy to add APIs for valid use cases, feel free to suggest more :)
