PDFBOX-5154: add path for CentOS
> Custom folder for fonts in FontMapper
> -------------------------------------
>
> Key: PDFBOX-5154
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PDFBOX-5154
> Project: PDFBox
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: FontBox
> Affects Versions: 2.0.23
> Environment: CentOS
> Reporter: Marco Scarpa
> Priority: Minor
> Labels: newbie
> Fix For: 2.0.24, 3.0.0 PDFBox
>
>
> To find fonts the class that PDFBox uses is org.apache.pdfbox.pdmodel.font.FontMapper implemented by org.apache.pdfbox.pdmodel.font.FontMapperImpl and than going inside it uses org.apache.fontbox.util.autodetect.UnixFontDirFinder .
>
> org.apache.fontbox.util.autodetect.UnixFontDirFinder searches fonts in some hard coded directories.
>
> org.apache.pdfbox.pdmodel.font.FontMapperImpl is final and has default visibility so it's not visible from outside the package and can't be extended
>
> org.apache.pdfbox.pdmodel.font.FontMapper does not show setProvider method of the implementation so it's not possible to plug a custom FontProvider.
>
> Unfortunately CentOS puts fonts in /usr/share/X11/fonts/ that is not one of the specified folders of org.apache.fontbox.util.autodetect.UnixFontDirFinder .
>
> There should be a way to overcome this problem, maybe using a custom FontProvider, maybe extending FontMapperImpl to allow to develop a version with a custom FontProvider or something else.
