Tilman Hausherr commented on PDFBOX-1749:
-----------------------------------------
About "Is there anything that can be done to avoid an endless loop?"
1) try to open the font with createFont() first and catch the exception
or
2) make a change in "your own" PDFBOX installation at the place mentioned
(GlyfSimpleDescript.java), e.g. add this
if (repeats == -1)
throw new IOException("premature EOF");
> Out of memory exception when parsing TTF file
