My original thought was to look at the specs for the full font. But doing
google searches, I cannot find any description of the font. Since it was a
Type0 font, I thought it would be defined somewhere in fontbox, but it is
not one of the 14 Adobe defined fonts. I think that is the part I just
don't understand - how can it be a Type0 font?
Why would it be a standard 14 font? These are known (4 times, 4
helvetica, 4 courier, symbol, zapf dingbats). Your font isn't one of
them. There are several types of fonts, and yours is "type 0".

Hi,
I had a look with PDFDebugger and I don't see a way to identify which
ones are bold etc, unless you start to analyse the shapes. (or better,
compare them with the full font)

I am extracting text from a PDF that uses a Type0 font called AllAndNone.
It seems that this font uses its own character definitions, and has
characters for normal, bold, italic, etc all in the same font.
Everything reads just fine via PDF Box TextStripper, but I really need to
know if a character is bold or not.
If it was a Type1 font, I think I could extract the font and see which
characters were which and create a map. Although I'm not even sure if
there is a standard mapping for this font since I cannot find anything
about how to create text with it.
However, I don't understand how such a font is constructed as a Type0
font. There is nothing with that name anywhere in the PDF
Box source, which is what I would expect if it is a Type0. Clearly I am
missing something and if anyone could explain, that would be great.
What I have in mind is to create a map so I can look up whether a
character
is bold.
