[jira] [Comment Edited] (PDFBOX-2372) Regressions 19.9.2014

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PDFBOX-2372?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=14142699#comment-14142699 ]

--------------------------------------------------------------

The file from PDFBOX-563 has a similar issue related to "Standard 14" fonts, only in this case the font is a Type 0 font, which shouldn't be eligible to be treated as a "Standard 14", yet it is anyway. A simple experiment of changing "Arial" for "Xrial" in the PDF file causes Acrobat to render the missing glyphs which means it is treating the name "Arial" in a special manner. (Note that the Adobe supplement specifies Arial as an alias for Helvetica).

Because we're not expecting a Type0 font to have any special "Standard 14" handling, the fix will be more complex.
