> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PDFBOX-3659
> Project: PDFBox
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: PDModel
> Affects Versions: 2.0.4
> Reporter: Tilman Hausherr
> Assignee: Tilman Hausherr
> Fix For: 2.0.5, 2.1.0
>
>
> On a system with no fonts, it is not possible to create PDF files that use
> the Standard 14 Symbol and Zapf Dingbats fonts. The current code tries to
> look at the generic fallback font (LiberationSans), which of course doesn't
> have these characters so an exception is thrown. But this lookup isn't needed
> - we have all the metrics needed for the standard 14 fonts and don't need any
> actual font.
> Solution: change {{PDType1Font.encode()}} so that it doesn't use the generic
> font for standard 14 fonts.
