Petr Slaby commented on PDFBOX-4229:
------------------------------------

That class is not public, so you have to copy it to your own source base to be 
able to set the provider (I did not try, not sure if that is even possible 
without copying a lot of dependencies, too)...

The FontMapper topic has been discussed some time ago in PDFBOX-2539 and on the 
mailing list. I (still) share the opinion that the external font mapping 
customisation needs an improvement. In our application, we need a different 
font configuration for tasks running in parallel threads in an application 
server. This can only be achieved using a ThreadLocal variable in a custom 
FontMapper implementation (at least I hope it can work this way, we did not 
implement it yet).
