> Key: PDFBOX-959
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PDFBOX-959
> Project: PDFBox
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: Text extraction
> Affects Versions: 1.4.0
> Reporter: Kevin Jackson
> Assignee: Andreas Lehmkühler
> Priority: Critical
> Fix For: 1.6.0
>
> Attachments: PDType1CFont.java.patch
>
>
> During text extraction there is NO need to create AWT fonts.
> However the current Type1C Font code creates the AWT always while initializing.
> This has several really bad side effects:
> 1. Wasted time creating the AWT font.
> 2. The font files are copied into /tmp which fills up after a few thousand text extractions.
> 3. The AWT is created in a synchronized region so is single threaded.
> The patch is quite simple. Just delay creation of the AWT fint until required.
