Thank you for the swift response Tilman. Much appreciated.
I've passed on your response to my point of contact in our legal
department. She asked if you or any other committers would be willing to
delete the sensitive TTF file after you're done using it for any sort of
troubleshooting or development.
YES of course (me).
Tilman
Thanks and Regards,
Larry Lynn

Send it to tilman (at) snafu (dot) de and to other committers who ask
for it.
Or upload it zipped + encrcypted to a sharehoster and send just the
password to that address.

Hello and happy new year.
We've experienced a text placement issue when creating a PDF with PDFBox
and using a proprietary font owned by one of our customers. We suspect
that this issue is related to font embedding and font subsetting.
We are using PDFBox 3.0.5.
We re-tested using an old version of PDFBox version 2.x. The problem did
not reproduce. We believe we've found a regression.
We'd like to submit a bug report, but we think that if we raised a Jira
ticket in the PDFBox system and uploaded the TTF file for the font as an
attachment to the ticket, that this would essentially redistribute the
font
to the world at large. We do currently have permission from our customer
to redistribute the font. We are unaware of any way to reproduce the
issue
without the TTF.
Does a mechanism exist to share a file privately with the PDFBox library
maintainers without making it publicly available to everyone on the
internet? If so, maybe we could send a copy of the TTF of the font
through
that private channel and still demonstrate bug reproduction.
Thanks and Regards,
Larry Lynn
p.s. We really appreciate all of the great work you've done on the
PDFBox
library.
