Andreas Lehmkühler commented on PDFBOX-490:
-------------------------------------------

I've worked on option (1) but it's more complicated than I thought at first. At the moment I'm working on PDFBOX-542 which will add support for CFF/Type2 fonts to fontbox. As java doesn't support that font format, those fonts will be converted to a Type1 font which is supported by java. Returning to our issue with embedded subsets of true type fonts, this will be a suitable solution too.

> When printing from utility PrintPdf, text is rendered in the wrong typeface. The correct typeface is embedded within the PDF (Embedded Subset) as a TrueType font with an ANSI encoding. It may be noted that the AcroFields in a Courier typeface render correctly.
