-------------------------------------
Hi Tilman, thanks for your quick response. Let me clarify what I mentioned in
this JIRA.
I mainly talk about the scenario when write text or fill the acroform fields in
PDF.
For using Standard 14 Fonts, it can simply use the built-in feature like:
PDFont font = PDType1Font.HELVETICA_BOLD;
Or it can load the TrueTypeFont like:
PDFont font = PDTrueTypeFont.loadTTF(document, "Arial.ttf");
But PDFBox does NOT have any built-in methods like:
PDFont font = PDType0CJKFont.JAPANESE_SANS_SERIF; // It is from Adobe Asian
Font Pack
As Adobe Reader can support these CJK fonts by default, it does not need to
embed (or embed subset) other TrueTypeFont to display any Asian text. This JIRA
is mainly focusing on this enhancement.
-------------------------------------
Previous JIRA PDFBOX-2524, Reporter Kenji has attached his patches in there.
Perhaps PDFBOX-2524 talked about too many topics and finally missed it.
I am now trying to integrate that old patch into existing version 2.0.4. But it
is quite difficult to integrate the old patch into the latest code.
