[jira] [Resolved] (PDFBOX-2109) CFFParser uses String constructor without encoding

["Tilman Hausherr (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

     [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PDFBOX-2109?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:all-tabpanel ]

Tilman Hausherr resolved PDFBOX-2109.
-------------------------------------

    Resolution: Fixed

Done in rev 1600086 for the trunk and rev 1600087 for the 1.8 branch. Thanks for the hint!  (But I wonder what will really happen if we run PDFBox on an EBCDIC system, I didn't even know that such are still in use and with Java)

> The string constructor called in CFFParser#readTagName() should specify an encoding, probably "ISO-8859-1", otherwise it will not work on systems where the default encoding is something "exotic" (we have some with EBCDIC, but I never tried to run PDFBox there). Patch attached.
