Re: TTF NullPointerException

[David Schweinsberg]

Hi Brent   If you could tell me how to get hold of the techno font, I'll attempt to reproduce the problem.  It would appear to be a problem with a composite glyph, perhaps referencing a bad simple glyph, but I will need to debug with the problem font.   Regards,   David Schweinsberg ----- Original Message ----- From: Brent L Johnson To: Batik Users Sent: Thursday, December 06, 2001 6:35 PM Subject: TTF NullPointerException I've got a truetype font I'm trying to convert using the ttf2svg converter and I get the following error: java.lang.NullPointerException         at org.apache.batik.svggen.font.table.GlyfCompositeDescript.<init>(Unknown Source)         at org.apache.batik.svggen.font.table.GlyfTable.init(Unknown Source)         at org.apache.batik.svggen.font.Font.read(Unknown Source)         at org.apache.batik.svggen.font.Font.create(Unknown Source)         at org.apache.batik.svggen.font.SVGFont.main(Unknown Source)         at org.apache.batik.apps.ttf2svg.Main.main(Unknown Source) null usage: java org.apache.batik.svggen.font.SVGFont <ttf-path> [-l <range-begin>] [-h <range-end>] [-ascii] [-id <id>] [-o <output-path>] [-testcard] I'm using the following command to convert it (and I copied one of the wingding ttf fonts and converted it and it worked just fine) - it's just like the example in the docs:   java -jar batik-ttf2svg.jar techno.ttf -l 48 -h 57 -id MySVGFont -o mySVGFont.svg -testcard   Doesn't work for the techno font, but does for webdings.  Any idea why one ttf would cause a NPE and the other wouldnt?   Thanks,   - Brent
