Ensuring non-null FontDescriptor for external TrueType fonts
------------------------------------------------------------
Key: PDFBOX-663
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PDFBOX-663
Project: PDFBox
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: PDModel
Affects Versions: 1.1.0
Reporter: Villu Ruusmann
Fix For: 1.1.0
Attachments: PDFBox.patch
Class PDTrueTypeFont assumes that there is always a non-null
FontDescriptor(Dictionary) available. However, I've seen this assumption
failing with a NullPointerException in method PDTrueTypeFont#drawString when
trying to render PDF documents that make use of external TrueType fonts.
I've implemented a small patch that initializes empty FontDescriptorDictionary
if one is missing, and tries to fill it in with information available from the
external TTF resource.
