I've added Antonys Patch with version 814322. I've made a slight modification, so that the PSName is only used if it is different to the familyname.
This solution could be a workaround for PDFBOX-490, if custom fonts are used which are part of the environment .

Thanks to Antony for his contribution.

> The FontManager.java class does not identify fonts found in PDFs correctly when matching against those loaded from environment (possibly also effects mappings and externaly loaded fonts but I did not check for this).
> Some PDFs include fonts using Postscript (PS) names these will typicaly include "PS" somewhere in the name, and other notation such as "MT". When the environment based fonts are loaded only the font family name is used plus any styles. To fix this the lookup should also include the PS name which can be retrieved from AWT fonts easily. The attached patch (FontManager.diff) includes a very simple change to facilitate this.
