[jira] [Created] (PDFBOX-1701) Suggestion: better font than the standard font

Tilman Hausherr created PDFBOX-1701:
---------------------------------------

             Summary: Suggestion: better font than the standard font
                 Key: PDFBOX-1701
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PDFBOX-1701
             Project: PDFBox
          Issue Type: Improvement
    Affects Versions: 2.0.0
         Environment: W7
            Reporter: Tilman Hausherr
            Priority: Minor


pdfbox\pdfviewer\PageDrawer.java has "Fallback: we can't find anything, so we have to use the standard font" code. However the standard font is a sans serif font. My suggestion is to use several standard fonts, i.e. for monospace, serif, sans serif, symbol, capitals, etc.

I tried it (see patch) on page 1 of the "Bimbo" pdf of PDFBOX-1694, and the result looks better than without the change. (There are still other problems with the next pages, I believe that there is a different cause, maybe similar to the "Elvia" file of PDFBOX-1689).
