-------------------------------------
This is probably fixed in the latest 2.0 trunk.

> Key: PDFBOX-1790
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PDFBOX-1790
> Project: PDFBox
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: Writing
> Affects Versions: 1.8.2
> Environment: Mac 10.7 / Java 6
> Reporter: Andrew Thomas
> Assignee: Andreas Lehmkühler
> Priority: Critical
>
> I'm attempting to embed a TrueType font using PDFBox, on the Mac, using
> PDTrueType.loadTTF( PDDocument, InputStream, Encoding ).
> For TrueType fonts originating from Windows (e.g., Tahoma) this works.
> For TrueType fonts originating from the Mac (e.g., Apple Chancery), a
> NullPointerException is thrown.
> java.lang.NullPointerException
> at
> org.apache.pdfbox.pdmodel.font.PDTrueTypeFont.loadDescriptorDictionary(PDTrueTypeFont.java:409)
> at
> org.apache.pdfbox.pdmodel.font.PDTrueTypeFont.loadTTF(PDTrueTypeFont.java:201)
> at
> org.apache.pdfbox.pdmodel.font.PDTrueTypeFont.loadTTF(PDTrueTypeFont.java:177)
> I stepped through the code in a debugger. The method
> PDTrueTypeFont.loadDescriptorDictionary() loops through the cmap table for
> the font, looking for a cmap with platform ID 3 (Windows), and sets the
> variable unimap only if one is found. After that loop, the variable unimap is
> dereferenced without checking for null.
> Some Mac TrueType fonts have platform IDs 0 (Unicode) and 1 (Mac), but not 3
> (Windows).
> At the least, a null check seems required. But more desirable would be
> support for Mac TrueType fonts.
> Am I missing something, or should I enter a bug?
> Example problem font:
> * Apple Chancery (Included with OS)
> Details:
> * PDFBox version: 1.8.2 [Have not yet tested with 1.8.3, which was released a
> few days ago]
> * Platform: Mac
> * Java 6
> * Font platform IDs: 0, 1
