Description

Hi and thanks a lot for your great library!

I've noticed that after I merge two or more PDFs that the font of the merged PDF differs from that of the input PDFs.

I've created a minimal project that lets you reproduce the bug:
https://github.com/mb720/PdfMerging

When you start the program using "./gradlew run", it will create three PDFs in "~/Desktop/": Two simple PDFs with one page of text and a third one that is created by merging the first two PDFs.

In the project the font I use is DroidSans.ttf. The version of PDFBox is 2.0.0-RC3.

For reasons I don't know the problem does not occur on my Linux Mint Debian Edition 64 bit.

Thanks a lot in advance,
Matthias
