[jira] [Created] (PDFBOX-4565) Make constructors PDPanoseClassification and CIDSystemInfo public

Henning von Bargen created PDFBOX-4565:
------------------------------------------

             Summary: Make constructors PDPanoseClassification and CIDSystemInfo public
                 Key: PDFBOX-4565
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PDFBOX-4565
             Project: PDFBox
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: FontBox, PDModel
    Affects Versions: 2.0.15
            Reporter: Henning von Bargen


The constructors for the classes PDPanoseClassification and CIDSystemInfo are package-visible only (not public).

This makes coding a different FontProvider similar to FileSystemFontProvider an unnecessarily hard task.

Background:

I'm working on replacing iText with PDFBox for Eclipse BIRT. One task is to support BIRTs fontconfig.xml for locating TTF fonts etc.

Obviously I need something simlar to the FileSystemFontProvider, but instead of using the file system directly, use the information in BIRTs fontconfig.xml file.

So I started with copying FileSystemFontProvider to a new class ConfigFontProvider in a different package.

Now this fails because the classes PDPanoseClassification and CIDSystemInfo have non-public (package-only) constructors. So I'd have to copy a whole bunch of source files in order to make this work.
