Description

When working on PDFBOX-4749 I've realized that the parameter "unicode" of the following methods isn't used and should be removed as it might trigger an unneeded call to PDFont#toUnicode which produces a false debug log about missing unicode mappings.

• PDFStreamEngine#showGlyph
• PDFStreamEngine#showFontGlyph
• PDFStreamEngine#showType3Glyph

I'm going to remove that parameter in 3.0.0. I'll add new methods without that parameter and deprecate the other ones in 2.0.20
