> We're still using AWT fonts to render the "standard 14" built-in fonts, which causes rendering problems and encoding issues (see  PDFBOX-2140). We're also using AWT for some fallback fonts.
> Removal of these AWT fonts isn't too difficult, we need to load the fonts using the existing PDFFontManager mechanism which has recently been added. All missing TrueType fonts loaded from disk have been using SystemFontManager for a number of weeks now. 
> We should ship some sensible default fonts with PDFBox, such as the Liberation fonts (see PDFBOX-2169, PDFBOX-2263), in case PDFFontManager can't find anything suitable, rather than falling back to the default TTF font, but by default we'll probe the system for suitable fonts.
