[PATCH] Parser for Type 1 Fonts

    XMLWordPrintableJSON

Details

    Description

      This patch adds a parser for Type 1 fonts to FontBox and makes use of it in PDFBox for rendering Type 1 glyphs. This should fix various issues with the JVM crashing and rendering fonts incorrectly.

      It was necessary to modify Type1CharStringParser to handle the `callothersubr` command and correctly handle subroutines. Likewise, Type1CharString was modified to support "flex".

      This patch does not remove the AWT fallback for non-embedded and standard 14 fonts because an entirely new fallback system is needed and suitable fonts will need to be shipped as part of PDFBox. This needs to be discussed on the mailing list and/or in follow-on issue.

      Note: To keep this patch small I have not replaced any of the existing ad-hoc Type 1 parsing code in PDType1Font and preflight. Those classes retain their original code which can be replaced in subsequent patches/refactoring. I can open follow-on issues for these.
