    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:
