Maruan Sahyoun commented on PDFBOX-4975:
----------------------------------------

Wouldn't it be better to check upfront using the PDFont classes if a specific character is available? Or check with the fontbox based classes?

> Currently {{PDPageContentStream}} is final.
> There are some situations where it would be useful to define our own {{PDPageContentStream}}.
> For example, in my use-case I want to be able to try multiple fonts in case the characters in the text are not all in one font. The library I'm using accepts {{PDPageContentStream}} instances, so it would be much easier to pass a subclass of {{PDPageContentStream}} with the desired behavior rather than overhaul the library itself.
