John Hewson commented on PDFBOX-2559:
-------------------------------------
The NullPointerException is definitely a bug. However, Doulos and the other SIL
fonts use SIL's own font layout technology, "Graphite", which we don't support.
Additionally, PDFBox does not yet support Unicode text, but we are working on
this currently, see PDFBOX-2524.
