Justus Piater commented on FOP-3203:
------------------------------------
If I use fop as shipped by Arch Linux with pdfbox 3.x, when trying to load an
OTF/CFF font it fails:
{quote}Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NoSuchMethodError: 'java.util.List
org.apache.fontbox.cff.CFFParser.parse(byte[])'
at org.apache.fop.fonts.truetype.OTFFile.initializeFont(OTFFile.java:103)
at org.apache.fop.fonts.truetype.OpenFont.readFont(OpenFont.java:822)
at org.apache.fop.fonts.truetype.OFFontLoader.read(OFFontLoader.java:119)
{quote}
So yes, FOP's incompatibility with pdfbox 3.x does cause problems for FOP users.
If I put the pdfbox 2.0.30 jar into the $CLASSPATH in fop.conf, it uses the
font without issue.
