            Description

            The user has a number of fonts installed on their application server and are currently testing to see if they can be correctly converted into an image via ICEpdf. What they're seeing is that single and double quotes in certain fonts cannot be converted. I see different results when viewing this PDF and am likely missing some of the required fonts libraries. For me, the PDF does not render at first and throws the following exceptions:

            FINE: Could not create instance oof font file 0

            After switching between pages, the 1st page then appears but only partially renders. Attached are the following:

                Font substitution issue aside we seem to be getting the correct encoding on Windows for all fonts with the OS encoding. I'll need to get a linux environment up and running to test against.

                This issue is related to PDF-599 and PDF-610. For the double and single quotes, the issue is related to the default lucida font that comes with windows. This font does not contains all the needed Unicode glyphs, in this case \u0094 = " and u0092 = '.

                On Linux all is good as the Java lucida fonts are used which contain the full Unicode range of characters. However on Widows the system font version of lucida used and it doesn't have all the needed glyphs.

                The FontManager needs to be updated to always use the Java Lucida fonts to avoid this issue on windows and potentially other systems.

                Updated the the FontManager to load load the Java Lucida fonts after the system fonts have been scanned. This insures that the Java Lucida fonts will be used instead of any found system fonts.
