I cannot seem to post a bug in JIRA from my Android phone, currently that is the only way I can get internet access.
An old Truetype font I've used successfully with PDFBox up to version 1.6.0 no longer loads with 1.7.0. The error is: Exception: java.lang.NullPointerException java.lang.NullPointerException at org.apache.pdfbox.pdmodel.font.PDTrueTypeFont.loadDescriptorDictionary(PDTrueTypeFont.java:319) at org.apache.pdfbox.pdmodel.font.PDTrueTypeFont.loadTTF(PDTrueTypeFont.java:166) at org.apache.pdfbox.pdmodel.font.PDTrueTypeFont.loadTTF(PDTrueTypeFont.java:142) at org.apache.pdfbox.pdmodel.font.PDTrueTypeFont.loadTTF(PDTrueTypeFont.java:129) at test.<init>(test.java:23) at test.main(test.java:36) My testcase (simply performing a loadTTF()) works with 1.6.0 of PDFBox. This font is certainly an oldie, but it does validate using "Font Book" on my Mac. That program looks through a TrueType font, checking all internal tables for correctness. I can upload the font to a web location, if you wish. Thanks for all the fine work you do. Bob Swanson
