Description

Trying to view 2 PDF files in PDFReader, the following problems happen:

• test_openoffice301.pdf : all characters replaced by squares (no error logged)
• test_word+pdfcreator.pdf : fallback to Arial (see log bellow)

The files were created with OpenOffice 3.0.1 (exported as PDF) and Word (printed to PDF with PDFCreator). They both contain 3 lines of text using the DejaVu open-source font.

PDFBox version used is trunk from january 28th, 2009:
fontbox trunk 718464
jempbox trunk 718464
pdfbox trunk 737638

For test_word+pdfcreator.pdf, the following lines are found in log:
