--------------------------------------------------------------
I've added a new interface PDFontLike which represents "font-like objects",
i.e. the common aspects of PDFont and PDCIDFont. Note that the
getFontDescriptor() which you're using can return null. PDFont implements safe
methods which provide similar information to the font descriptor, perhaps you
could use these instead. Also you probably want to be working with a
PDType0Font and not accessing its descendant PDCIDFont directly, but that
depends on exactly what you're doing.
Do you have a link to the code which you're trying to update? I found no use of
getFontDescriptor() in the other links.
P.S. You might need to do a find-and-replace on "getBaseName" to "getName"
after the latest changes (getBaseName still exists for non-Type3 fonts though).
