[jira] [Commented] (PDFBOX-2606) Support OS with no fonts

["John Hewson (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PDFBOX-2606?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=14282918#comment-14282918 ] 

John Hewson commented on PDFBOX-2606:
-------------------------------------

The problem is that if getType1FallbackFont fails then it executes the following line:

{code}
throw new IllegalStateException("No fonts available on the system for " + fontName);
{code}

The solution is to return {{ttfFallbackFont}}, which is bundled with PDFBox.
