[jira] [Commented] (PDFBOX-972) Specific Type1C methods not used anymore

["Andreas Lehmkühler (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PDFBOX-972?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=13011784#comment-13011784 ] 

Andreas Lehmkühler commented on PDFBOX-972:
-------------------------------------------

All these information should be part of the font descriptor/dictionary of the type1 font, so that it isn't neccessary to get those from the embedded type1C font by delegating the method calls. Or do you have a counter example which doesn't work as assumed?

> In one of the last releases the PDFontFactory changed  so that for Type1C fonts a PDType1Font will be created and not as before a PDType1CFont. While PDType1Font will internally instantiate a PDType1CFont several of the methods which PDType1CFont overrides are now hidden and not used (instead the PDSimpleFont variants are used).
> I will add the necessary methods in an attachment which calls the appropriate methods.
> However having all these type specific switches it seems to be a better solution to subclass PDType1CFont from PDType1Font.
