Description

The following classes are part of a public abstract class org.apache.pdfbox.pdmodel.font.FontInfo which is meant to be an interface but both have a package protected constructor:

• org.apache.pdfbox.pdmodel.font.PDPanoseClassification
• org.apache.pdfbox.pdmodel.font.CIDSystemInfo
  This makes it impossible to use those classes in a custom implementation of org.apache.pdfbox.pdmodel.font.FontInfo without using the pdfbox naming space as package name, see this posting from Roland Meub for further details
