I was looking through things on my server and I'm seeing that my
application has about 130 TrueType font files open. I'm running this
under Tomcat so the process is persistent.
I've dug through the source code a little bit and I can see that
AbstractTTFParser.parseTTF(File ttfFile) explicitly doesn't close the
stream. I'm guessing this is because there's a way to do deferred
parsing of the file.
I looked at o.a.fontbox.util.FontManager as well, and it looks like when
it gets created, it's loading all available truetype fonts and at least
getting the Font Names table to map the font names to the constructed
TrueTypeFont objects.
Is there ever a point when the file input stream could be closed? Is
there some operation performed on TrueTypeFont that would definitively
conclude access to the stream?
