Tilman Hausherr commented on PDFBOX-2661:
-----------------------------------------
I think that the fallback mechanism doesn't need to do anything with fontbox,
i.e. all there is needed is to attach a resource for the appropriate standard
14 font when the field is filled. That is what Adobe does after filling the
field and saving the file.

> Project: PDFBox
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: AcroForm
> Affects Versions: 1.8.8, 2.0.0
> Reporter: Maruan Sahyoun
> Attachments: FontTest.java, Fonts.pdf
>
>
> There are forms where the font specified in the fields default appearance is
> not pointing to the correct fields or forms resources entry. Adobe
> Reader/Acrobat have a (unspecified) fallback mechanism to resolve such
> missing fonts.
> We should be ably to come up with a similar solution.
