PDFBox standard fonts search path

Hi,

I am using Apache PDFBox to render thumbnails of PDF documents on heroku. The
PDFs I use to test my code render fine locally on a Mac, on Heroku certain
fonts don't render.

I suspect that PDFBox can't find the 14 standard fonts on heroku. I could
include them in my app, but I can't figure out how to tell PDFBox where to
search for the fonts.

How can I specify where I put the fonts in my application ?


Thank you,

Markus Ecker

Hi,
Am having trouble with fonts also and was sent this location from another user:
	// font location: org/apache/pdfbox/resources/PDFBox_External_Fonts.properties
This should have been loaded when you installed.
Maybe you also need to reinstall?
hope this helps.

The 14 standard fonts are part of the JDK. Maybe there are some other fonts missing. Many headless environments like servers or clouds don't install fonmts by default. Did you you install some?
