Matt Wise commented on PDFBOX-3597:
-----------------------------------
Thanks Maruan, yes the form will be flattened and is intended for printing
after filling out the fields from my backend app so I want to reduce the file
size as much as possible. Embedding the entirety of ArialUnicodeMs adds about
15mb to the resulting PDF which is excessive.

> Key: PDFBOX-3597
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PDFBOX-3597
> Project: PDFBox
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: PDModel
> Affects Versions: 2.0.3
> Reporter: Matt Wise
>
> I have attached example files in the External issue URL link.
> I am trying to embed a subset of a font into my pdf after populating the
> fields. If I don't run refreshAppearances() the values will be put into the
> fields, but will only be visible when the field is selected (likely another
> bug).
> To work around this, I am trying to set the default appearance on the fields
> manually to reflect the embedded font. If I embed the whole font, it works
> as expected, however when I try to embed a subset of the font it fails:
> Exception in thread "main" java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: No glyph for
> U+540D in font AAWTXC+ArialUnicodeMS

> It would appear that after I call form.setDefaultResources with the updated
> font, refreshAppearances is still trying to use the old font as the
> appearance, although I may be wrong.
> Expected:
> appearances are updated, subset of font is embedded.
