[jira] Commented: (PDFBOX-635) Fallback mechanism for broken CFF fonts

["Daniel Wilson (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PDFBOX-635?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=12837602#action_12837602 ] 

Daniel Wilson commented on PDFBOX-635:
--------------------------------------

Villu,

I entirely agree with the *concept* of this patch -- if the right means of parsing fails, warn and fall back to something less correct that will work.

Reading your patch, I see the warning.  But I don't see the fallback actually occurring.

Does it indeed fall back to a Type1 font?  Could you explain how the code is  doing this?

Thanks!

Daniel

> PDFBOX-542 has not proven to be sufficiently foolproof for real-world PDF documents.
> PDFBox should fallback to a Type1 font with appropriate warning message (this is the default behaviour with PDFBox 0.8.0 and earlier versions) when there is a problem parsing/interpreting a CFF (aka Type1C) font.
