Description

In PDFBOX-5632 I've stumbled upon a PDTrueTypeFont which contains an OpenType font using CFF-based outlines. It is marked as damaged and replaced by a font found in the local runtime environment as we don't support rendering of such OpenType fonts.

The described behaviour is too strict and not necessary as PDFBox is able to render such fonts. It should be easy to add as the code is already there. CIDType2 fonts are affected as well.
