-------------------------------------------
+1 looks good to me
> 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.
