Hi Phil! I think I didn't explained myself very well :) The purpose of my change is to remove the line of code that initialises the loops from the constructor: @@ -254,11 +254,10 @@ font = f; if (font == null) { font = defaultFont; } - loops = sd.getRenderLoops(this); setDevClip(sd.getBounds()); invalidatePipe(); } protected Object clone() { The reason I want to do this is to avoid a reference to "this" to be passed to an external class because SG2D may not be fully initialised, and I would say that this is at least non nice :) As for the NPE, I was referring to the fact that just removing the call to sd.getRenderLoops(this) (which is, again, what I want to do), leaves the loops uninitialised. This happens in the Java2D demo, for example, because validate is not called in all the cases as the first thing. A solution could be to put a check for null in checkFontInfo, like Jim suggested, because this is called before validate. I'll prepare a test case for this issue based on the J2D demo, but of course it's only useful to show the NPE if you remove the sd.getRenderLoops(this) line from the constructor. I hope this clarifies a bit my idea.
