Hi,
I tried both and they work. You don't need BC unless you're encrypting.
Commons-log is needed.
Did you use the code "as is" (loading from file) or did you use the font
as a class resource? (There's the resource filtering mistake)
You don't need the sources, you need the pdfbox and fontbox jar files
(use maven if possible), and of course the example source that you're
using. I mentioned the test because it means that it's working at build
time. I'll create a test for two of the HelloWorld tests too.
To see if your system is ok, download pdfbox-app and then run this on
the command line
java -jar pdfbox-app-2.0.23.jar TextToPDF -ttf fontfile.ttf
yourtext.txt yourpdf.pdf
and see what happens.

Hi Tilman,
Thanks for your reply!
It doesn't happen with *Helvetica*, for example, but these don't need to be
embedded because they are already embedded (HelloWorld.java example works,
of course). I was not able to try with Type 1 fonts because the ones I have
are pfa not pfb (PDFBox can't read pfa), since I only use them in
PostScript. Somehow, sites offering Type 1 fonts completely disappeared
from the web, since Adobe is not supporting them any more. We shouldn't use
Type 1 anymore, but PDFBox can't read PostScript Opentype, only if they are
Truetype (I had already isolated the parser in another project and it
doesn't even read them). Actually the only way I was able to read
PostScript Opentype was with Opentype.js. It is incredible, but I couldn't
find any decent Java parser that could handle those. In theory, PostScript
Opentype should be read in PDFbox, since Type 1 fonts are not supported
anymore. This is already a problem in itself, but another subject.
If you meant if I tried several Truetype fonts, yes I did. I tried
*verdana.ttf*, *Comfortaa-Bold.ttf* and *Roboto-Black.ttf*. They all give
the same error. I have the impression that *embedding Truetype fonts is not
working*. Has anybody here already done this?
The tests are a *great idea*. I didn't integrate them in my PDFBox project
to make it slimmer, but you are definitely right, I will do that.
I am not quite sure what you mean with *"Also check that your class path
has only one version of pdfbox and fontbox"*. I downloaded the whole source
supplied for pdfbox-2.0.23. Is it possible to have a different version
for *pdfbox
*and *fontbox *in the same release of the source code? But in any case I
have no way to see if they are from different versions because that's the
way they were released. I compiled the whole block of source code with no
libraries. I was forced to search sources for LOG and bouncycastle because
they are not included in the source code of PDFBox. LOG I had already used
for the parser previously and it works. It seems to work in pdfbox-2.0.23
too. The second is version 1.68.99, and I am not sure it works with this
version of PDFBox. I have no clue if this version of bouncycastle could
influence pdfbox-2.0.23 for embedding Truetype fonts. Could it do this?
Thanks for your help.
Best regards,
Jack

covered by a test, the other one isn't.
Also check that your class path has only one version of pdfbox and fontbox.

Hi!
I compiled the version pdfbox-2.0.23 source code and the following examples
are not working:
1) HelloWorldTTF.java
2) CreatePDFA.java
I have the following dump after trying to call the function
"getExternalCMap(name);" in line 99 of file CMapParser.java (package
<http://org.apache.fontbox.cmap>
), where name = "Identity-H", :
