[jira] [Comment Edited] (PDFBOX-4379) hasGlyph returns false when a two character glyph does exist

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PDFBOX-4379?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=16690541#comment-16690541 ]

I had a look in the source code… hasGlyph is used to find out whether the character code found in a PDF (this is NOT a Unicode! In font subsets, an a can be 1, and c can be 2, and a z can be code 3!) is supported by the font. If not, a log message is produced.

What you want to do is to find out whether a glyph is in a font. At this time, the only solution is to call showText and see if an IllegalArgumentException occurs.
