Tilman Hausherr commented on PDFBOX-3330:
-----------------------------------------
Another suggestion for the FAQ, in Font Handling:
Q: What fonts do I need on my system?
A: This answer only applies to systems other than Windows or Mac. To create
PDFs, none are needed (version 2.0.5 or higher). For rendering and text
extraction, you'll need the "Standard 14 Fonts" mentioned in the PDF
specification: Times-Roman, Helvetica, Courier, Symbol, Times-Bold,
Helvetica-Bold, Courier-Bold, ZapfDingbats, Times-Italic, Helvetica-Oblique,
Courier-Oblique, Times-BoldItalic, Helvetica-BoldOblique, Courier-BoldOblique.
Arial is as good as Helvetica. MS-Gothic can be used instead of ZapfDingbats.
The Times/Courier/Helvetica fonts can also be replaced with the appropriate
Liberation or Nimbus fonts. The exact substitution logic that PDFBox uses can
be read in the file FontMapperImpl.java from the source code download.
