             Summary: To support multi-lingual paragraphs without switching Font objects
                 Key: PDFBOX-4183
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PDFBOX-4183
             Project: PDFBox
          Issue Type: New Feature
          Components: FontBox
            Reporter: vikas kumar jagga


Problem :- If a single paragraph has fonts of different languages we need to detect the language and load the appropriate PDType0Font font file object (holding ttf file) supporting that language fonts.

PDFbox library should provide a class with addFont() method that can hold multiple PDType0Font objects (holding different ttf files) so that this object holding multiple font files could be loaded in document object. It will reduce the overhead to detect the language and then loading that ttf file object.

iText provide this feature with FontSelector class. Below is the sample code usage.
