It is much better to have an error thrown which explains the problem rather than a random NPE or similar right afterwards. This behaviour has been there since at least JDK 1.3 (2000) when the file was first created as sun/awt/FontProperties.java. It may even have existed in some other location before then, but I can't tell that from SCCS per-file history. ------------- PR: https://git.openjdk.org/jdk/pull/11559
